The Usual

Palo Verde beetle

Dr. K, Willow and I did our usual hike this morning; we saw no other nature enthusiasts while we were out there.  It felt pretty hot while we were trekking, and it seems like a bit of humidity has found its way into the atmosphere.  I believe the chance of rain gets more likely in coming days.
