Butterfly and Hummers

Headed down LDR-A

Willow, Frio and I trekked up to Second Arroyo this morning, stopped in for a lengthy shade break--during which we drank water--and then headed back.  We saw nobody else in our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert.

Road construction crew was working hard when we were coming and going, but it wasn't too bad because they had one lane blacktopped from yesterday's labor.  They'll be off during the weekend.

Both Frio and Willow were very well behaved today, and I greatly appreciated their cooperation.
