Another long view

A tad cold when Dr. K, Willow and I did our last hike of 2024 this morning: 35F. About midway through, though, I was able to remove my earband and gloves because things felt significantly warmer under the steady sunshine.
The most remarkable sight on today's trek was an ocotillo blooming west of the middle branch arroyo; I don't believe we've ever seen one blossoming at this time of year. Saw our first Loggherhead Shrike as well.
We didn't see any other outdoor enthusiast during our trek, but we did spot the Basset people and their hounds walking down Tellbrook Road while we were driving home.

I think the Ocotillo bloom is a good luck sign for 2025. Beautiful images of the Loggerhead Shrike.
