Wind Again

Blooming Faxon Yucca from distance

Even though high winds have made a return to our area it didn't feel all that cold during our morning hike today.  Dr. K, Willow and I did our regular route, spotting nobody else in our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert.  We took a drive after the outing listening to Matt and Myron on their Sunday Morning show.

Desert flora

Dr. K had an AAUW event to attend this morning ("Girls Can") so it was Willow and me on the morning hike.  She and I did our regular route without seeing anybody else in the desert.  Weather conditions were good:  sunny, windless, high 40s.
