Glorious Clouds

Humid and cool at start

Dr. K, Willow and I remained cool throughout our morning hike; significant cloud cover kept the weather conditions cool and humid.  This was a nice break from yesterday's near-brutal heat.  We followed our regular route and spotted no other nature lovers while we were out there.
