Near Brutal

1st 3:  same Roadrunner in two different ocotillos

Just Willow and me on the morning hike; Dr. K had stuff to do.  The Wilster and I followed our regular route under pretty brutal conditions--totally unlike the weather we had yesterday.  No clouds today, no breeze, blazing sun.  Bugs were flying into our faces the entire time.  We saw no other nature lovers during the trek.  I took some decent photos while we were out there, but none of particular note.
