Sun-Drenched Sunday

Dayflowers

Today would have been as bad as yesterday for Dr. K, Willow and me had it not been for a fairly consistent breeze that blew throughout our morning hike.  We followed our regular route, stopping every time Willow wanted a shade break.  In the shadow of the ancient Soaptree Yucca in the left branch arroyo we stopped for water; Willow had a quaff.  After the outing we drove over to our local Circle K to gas up the CR-V before taking a short ride around various neighborhoods.
