Bushwhack Hybrid

A crowd of White-winged Doves

Today is exactly two years since Frio died, and I'm not over it at all.  In his memory Willow and I bushwhacked all the way up to First Arroyo where I often hiked with the "Os"--Frio and Willow.  On this fine morning Wils and I enjoyed ourselves seeing the old territory seem like new again.  Spring has sprung out there and I was able to get a few pics of pretty plants.
