Tiny Buds

Moon with contrail

Willow and I did our regular hike this morning, seeing Mrs. Basset and her hounds as we drove to the trailhead; a bit later, while we were descending LDR-A arroyo, at least one Basset was braying at us.  Saw nobody else during our trek.  The weather was quite pleasant; in fact we're heading for a high of 80F today.
