Fry Day

Check out this Horned Lizard's camouflage

It was pretty hot this morning--not brutally hot, but really toasty.  We did a fairly long hike, but saw only one other hiker and her dog.  We didn't get close enough for an encounter, but we did have an uncomfortably close encounter (of the 3rd kind) with an adolescent Rattler.  Becca almost stepped on it, and when the snake started rattling both of us jumped out of our skin.  Damned snakes and their camouflage.

I spy another dog in the desert
