This kind of morning |
No sun out there this morning for Willow and me during the entirety of our daily trek; Dr. K had an appointment so Wils and I were on our own.
 |
A hint of brighter sky |
It wasn't freezing for the hike, but it felt cold enough to be unpleasant. Dr. K wouldn't have liked it.

Willow surveying the territory |
The Basset people and their hounds were just ahead of us as we started down LDR-A at the onset so I had to hold the heeler back even though she wanted to forge ahead. They were the only nature enthusiasts we saw in the desert.
