Humid and Hot

Full head of hair
After yesterday's rain and the threat of more precipitation today the humidity was plenty high this morning when Willow, Frio and I hit the trail; also it felt quite hot in the blazing sun.

We took plenty of breaks during the trek, and the "O"s seemed glad of it.  Saw some interesting birds during our outing, and I was able to get a few somewhat decent images of the aviators.

We didn't see the Basset people and their hounds during the trek, but we did see the woman half of the human pair down on Tellbrook collecting dog poo from the side of the road.  We often see her doing that.

I love the image of the inside of the Prickly Pear flower.
