Fishhook Barrel Cactus buds |
Our pal Jimmy rolled in just before us, and we were able to trek the first leg with him. While the three of us were together the sun stayed behind clouds, and it felt comfortable out there.
Not long after we parted company with Becca's favorite outdoor enthusiast, though, the sun began to make its presence known; with little breeze to ameliorate conditions the weather suddenly felt steamy. It was easily the worst hike Becca and I have taken in quite some time, and both of us were eager to get out of there. She's been lying on the cool tile here at home for several hours now recovering from our dreadful outing.

I like the photos of the 'cup' of the prickly pear fruit filled with rainwater. I've never noticed that before.
