Keep It Wild (cap)

Time for Coffee!

(Imusa stove-top espresso maker)

According to this book I come by it genetically.

Whilst exploring near Mexican Hat, this (apparently) purposefully-placed specimen appeared. I've never seen green before. And the size is kinda small for coyote, my first guess.

What thinketh thou, Jozien?

Monocline

Two miles north of Mexican Hat Rock, at the junction of highways 163 and 261, if you look south, the eroded face of the monocline presents -- when the sun is further over than in this picture -- a beautiful pattern of waves and colors. (Worth stopping for.)

Mexican Hat

It was raining and EVERYONE ELSE was either -- depending on their vehicle -- taking advantage of the gravel-topped surface or heading for pavement. There was FAR too much traffic. We went looking for a quieter place....and found it just up the road.

In the morning the sky continued to clear and we enjoyed the solitude. Though this being in "the window" of when the temperatures are the best, the hordes are arriving.
