Long, Cool Hike

A cool overcast day--with periods of light rain--made for a very enjoyable hike. One of the first things we came upon was this egg, lying beside a yucca. I'm guessing it's a Cactus Wren egg.

We struck west down the major arroyo south of Tortugas, where huge, blossom-laden Acacias grow.

Standing in the arroyo looking east to the Organ Mountains.

An overcast sky kept the temperature down.
