Another Usual Trek

This & next:  young Desert Cottontail

Very hot and humid as we did our normal hike this morning.  Surprised to hear thunder in the afternoon.  Building clouds were spectacular, and now at 1:45 p.m. it's raining, even though Doppler Dave (KVIA El Paso) said chances were slim for getting any precipitation.

No worries, though, because we always need rain.
