Woody X 2

View from LDR-A

It felt distinctly warmer when Dr. K, Willow and I were doing our hike this morning; few clouds, bright sunshine and lack of a breeze were all contributing factors.  We followed our regular route during which we saw no other outdoor enthusiasts.  Pickup-Truck-Lady and her dog were out there somewhere, though, because we saw their truck.  I spent too much time trying to capture a decent photo of one of two Ladder-backed Woodpeckers, but was only able to get one half-decent image.
