Little Lizard

Cuddle buddies

Dr. K and I decided early on that we'd do half a hike due to hot weather, but Willow had another plan:  we'd head north across the Tellbrook Arroyo and explore some side arroyos before heading back.  Which is what we did.  Mileage probably was the same as doing our entire regular route, but who's tallying?  We saw some interesting sights and critters along the way.
