Post-Election Blues Hike

Clouds over the Organs

Needless to say, after last night's presidential election Dr. K and I were quite depressed; Willow not so much.

We did our regular hike on a fairly pleasant morning.  The sun shone all during our outing, and there was little breeze to speak of.

We got a glimpse of the Basset lady and a few of her hounds dropping over a ridge to the east, but we never saw them after that.  We did see Freddie the Black-tailed Jackrabbit just as we were about to climb the steep hill west of the right branch arroyo; he stopped to acknowledge our presence, but I couldn't get a good photo of him before he took off.
