Wednesday Hike

Purple Prickly Pear cactus
A moderately-long hike around Tortugas Mountain this morning was extremely relaxing.  It seemed as if we had the entire area to ourselves; there were no other hikers, joggers or mountain bikers.  Unfortunately, I had to cut the hike a bit short so that I could go grocery shopping before Albertsons got overrun with zombies.
