   Slavin Hike Yesterday; Another Bluebird Day!

                           Wild hyacinth ( Triteleia grandiflora)

Mule Ears (Wyethia amplexicaulis)

                              Morning Hiking Is The BEST!

Why is it the best?  Many, many reasons.  More wildlife are active and there are less people. The sun and heat are less intense.  You get light like the first photo below.  And you are home before your wife is even up and going!  That way you can do other things and your day isn't consumed by the hike. An extra benefit is no traffic if you have to drive somewhere.  The hike I did on Monday was from my back door and that is another benefit all together!
