Chilly Again

Desert Cardinal (Dry Brush filter)

The sand-blasting winds that blew through here over the past several days finally delivered a cold front that dropped the temperature noticeably.  It was quite chilly when Willow, Frio and I were out there this morning due to a slight windchill.

We trooped on, however, doing our regular hike while I captured a few images of our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert.
