Pre-Shop Trek

Roadrunner on the move

We cut the half roughly in two this morning because Willow wasn't enjoying herself and we weren't either.  We were out there long enough for me to get some decent photos of our desert denizens, including a Jewel Beetle which I hadn't seen in years.  After the outing I got ready and left for my weekly shopping stint at Albertsons.  After lunch Dr. K did her rounds at Target.
