Black Friday Trek

Willow in the left branch
Dr. K, Willow and I had a nice Black Friday hike in our usual stomping grounds.  It was cold out there, though, a gloves-and-earband kind of morning.

We saw no one else as we trekked along the regular route; other nature enthusiasts were probably too stuffed or too drunk to be our in the desert so early.

We took a long ride after the outing, driving through nearby neighborhoods to check out the scenery; only a few people have their yards fully decked out for Christmas.

A very large Sumac (probably Little-leaf) in the distance

This & next:  same Black-throated Sparrow


Yuccas on a hill

The Willow two-step

The heeler stare

A "pet" peeve:  who will pick up the dog poop?
