Monday Monday

Tortugas and the Organs
Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I got an early start on a very warm morning in our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert; we're headed for a high of 87F today.

The desert looked very much like spring with many mesquites leafing out and Little-leaf Sumac flowering everywhere.

I didn't see any hawks during our outing, though I'm constantly looking for them.

This & next:  artsy male quail
