Before Bad Weather

Tortugas and the Organs

It was overcast for much of the morning hike today; the cloud cover and higher humidity kept the temperature up:  37F when we started off.  We did the regular route without seeing any other nature lovers out and about; we did spot the Basset People and their hounds when we were driving home down Tellbrook.  According to local meteorologists a potent storm is headed our way carrying rain and snow.
