Vistas and Critters


Research Associate Becca and I went on a hike this morning near Tortugas Mountain. We had quite a bit of rain last night, so parts of the desert were actually muddy. Some places had already dried, but you could see where the water coursed, taking the path of least resistence.
The vistas were spectacular due to the clouds that still lingered over the mountains.
Quite a few critters were out and about, including this millipede.
This particular critter found some shade where she could relax and enjoy her tongue sandwich.
