| no partners | | So lucky today with the cloud cover as I got to do a no hat, no sunglasses hike again this week. I started at 3:15 today.
Jacaranda trees are blooming, so vibrant.
Palo Verdes are still showing off in the Preserve too and speaking of showing off, as I was hiking I heard a bird commotion. I looked to the north and there was a raven chasing a hawk or prairie falcon as one used to reside here [ photoset ] . The bird of prey was awesome as it alluded the raven. There was another raven trailing, couldn't keep up. And then the bird of prey did an awesome barrel roll  . The raven gave up. What a show I enjoyed for a couple minutes.
Next it was to the south of the Preserve for more entertainment as the coyotes struck again. They must start here and work their way north when I hear them around Happy Hour time. But this time, I actually saw one. Here's a quickie video of the street before the reserve and then the coyotes talking: [ youtube video ]
Not many hikers out yet this early in the afternoon. Have a big backpack this weekend so was glad to get some hiking exercise. |

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
