Start of the Week

On the foothills trail, west side of Tortugas

A beautiful morning on the mountain, as you can see from these images.  The short video appears to be solely about the Little-Leaf Sumac in the frame, but I shot it because of all the little birds twittering (not tweeting) in the bush.  You can't see them in the video, but you can hear them.  (I hope.)
