Domingo Sombreado

Morning sky
Pleasant surprise for Dr. K, Willow and me when we started out this morning:  overcast sky made for quite pleasant hiking conditions.

We trekked along our usual route, and I took more photos than I planned on taking even though I kept the count under thirty.

After the hike, during which we saw no one, we drove over to our local Circle K to gas up the CR-V and, afterwards, to take a long ride through several familiar neighborhoods.
