Willow and Me on a Solo Spree

Young Whitethorn Acacia
Dr. K went shopping this morning so it was Willow and me out on the hot trails.  Conditions not so welcoming today.

Did our usual route without seeing any human or canine nature enthusiasts.  We did spot a Western Kingbird and a Black-throated Hummingbird, two desert denizens we'd much rather see than nature lovers of another kind.

Not much else to say today.

This & next:  Western Kingbird
