Wind or Breeze?

Typical desert scene

Regardless of whether it was wind or a breeze the air circulation kept us cool on this morning's trek.  The cooler conditions led Dr. K and me to consider if a long hike was in order, but when we reached "decision junction" Willow chose to do the half-a-hike route.  It was fine with us humans.  We decided to take a long drive after the outing, which was a pleasant experience since not many other drivers were on the roads early this Labor Day.

Who's on top of the yucca?

This & next:  it's a Loggerhead Shrike

Guess who slept here?
