This & next 5: sky at start of hike

Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I were able to do a nice, normal hike without getting wet. The storms are slated to begin this afternoon.
Weather was extremely conducive to hiking: overcast skies, moderate humidity and a nice, strong breeze.
We didn't see many critters during our outing today, but one got our undivided attention, a small Western Diamondback who was right on the path we were trekking along. After I took a photo of it I stamped my foot on the ground and it obligingly slithered away. Just a short time later we came across a Gopher Snake, but it made tracks before I could pull my camera out of its case.

I really like the second photo of the Desert Unicorn-plant. And I'm glad we didn't get too close to that rattlesnake.
