Cool Start

Steep climb up the mountain
60 degrees Farenheit might not seem cool to those denizens of northern climes, but for a late-August day in the Chihuahuan Desert it felt quite nice.  Add a constant breeze and one could nearly convince oneself that Autumn had begun.  It certainly seems that way judging from the rapid disappearance of leaves from the wands of the Ocotillo plants.  Soon the Ocotillos will be nothing more than buggy-whip skeletons populating the already-sparse desert.
Ocotillo leaves are dropping big time
