Changing Weather

Rainbow over backyard mesquite tree

Dr. K had a meeting this morning so it was Willow and me on the daily trek.  Weather conditions were cold, blustery, little sun.  After a while the wind abated and the sun made momentary--and much appreciated--appearances.

We did our usual trek, not taking as many stops due to the inclement climate.  Lighting for photos was good, though, and I captured a few noteworthy images.
