Another foothills hike

Sept 7:

Hiked the foothill with Marla and Lori and the pups - this time 5 miles.  Much nicer today - not much dust because of the heavy rains in the last couple of days.  The skies were sooo blue, with not a spec of cloud in the sky - beautiful!

I thought of leaving the camera behind, because .. what could possibly be of interest when hiking this path a second time this week.  But I am glad I did take it because I did find some interesting pictures.

We met some people on horseback

The headlight of an old abandoned car

Jeep track washed out by the recent rains

Close up of the wash-out 

I was fascinated by the wash-out detail

Sandstone cliff with bird-nest burrows

More sandstone cliff

Just us being silly  :)

Drying mud puddle reflecting the sunlight

Same puddle from the opposite direction

Water troughs for grazing cattle (and wild sunflowers)

Wild flowers, and blue blue skies

A tree with personality  :)
