Calm Saturday

Interesting clouds this morning
It was pretty pleasant when Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I began our morning hike, and the weather conditions stayed nice throughout.

We did our usual trek, and though we heard a dog bark once during our outing, we never saw it nor anyone else.

Spotted an American Kestrel while descending LDR-A arroyo and took quite a few photos of it; and then later, while climbing up Left Branch Arroyo, I saw what was, perhaps, the same kestrel and took a few more pics of it.

After our hike we took a long, enjoyable ride around several different neighborhoods eventually leading back to our own.
