Buona Pascua (Happy Easter)

Dr. K, Becca and I took a long Easter- morning hike in the starkly beautiful Chihuahuan Desert.  The weather was perfect, warm with a slight breeze, headed for a high of 80 F.  Not too many people were out when we started off, but when we got back near the parking lot we saw that it was quite full.  We don't celebrate Easter, but a lot of my cousins in Italy and Germany do.  So to them I say:  Buona Pasqua ai miei cugini italo-tedeschi.

Struck me as a phoebe when I saw the image (before I read your caption). And, I like the image of the lenticular cloud over the mountains.

Our Easter day started out with hazy sun which quickly disappeared behind clouds. On an afternoon walk, we got sprinkles, and by the time Kali and I joined some friends for an unplanned, impromptu dinner, it was showering.
