Running Late

Backlighting

Ever had one of those days when you get off-schedule and end up doing things much later than usual?  Well, that was my day so far; I got out of synch with my routine and got at least an hour behind.  As a result I didn't eat lunch until 1:10 p.m.; it's now 3:25 p.m. and I'm just getting around to posting this blog.  On the up side, Becca and I had a nice hike in the warm desert, ran into our buddy Jimmy and our pals JC and Olivia.  All were well and out enjoying the sunshine on a pleasant Chihuahuan Desert morn.

Focusing on clouds today I guess

Becca may be relaxing, but she's keeping her eyes peeled

Anybody coming over that-a-way?

We're slated to be 65 degrees Fahrenheit today (January 10th)
