Morning/Afternoon

Morning sun  trying to break through the overcast

The Beckster and I did an early-morning hike on the west side of the Tortoise.  Then, after we returned home, I had some business to take care of, as well as some shopping to do at Target and Albertson's.  In the early afternoon I took Becca out to the north face of Tortugas Mountain where we did a short, half-hour hike. Becca is perfectly willing to go on as many hikes as I want per day.
