Bee and Prickly Pear

1st 2:  Desert Cardinal
Dr. K, Willow and I had a good hike in our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert this morning even though the temperature was significantly higher.  I think we're headed for a high of 98F today.  We saw the Pickup Truck lady and her dog just getting started on a bushwhack when we were driving by on Tellbrook, but we didn't see them again after that; nor did we see the Basset people and their hounds.
