A walk in the drylands

Murphy J and I took a long walk yesterday out by Farmington Bay Refuge. In many areas, the ground is dry, so we were able to walk quite a ways without 'mudding up'. The patterns on the ground are fascinating and worth a study in themselves.  We also found three eggshells - from birds that had their nest on the ground and the eggs had hatched.

A red-tailed hawk checked us out on the way home to see if we were edible - Murphy spent a bit of time in the pond cooling off after the walk. Here's a couple of different items from the walk.
