Wanting to simply spend some time with Nature during this trip, I kept my pace slow and my path ahead mostly unknown. Spring is still calling out a lot of color here in the desert, and the hedgehog cactus are even beginning to blossom.

My wandering took me down into the canyon where I was able to walk along the clear, cool waters that are flowing through there right now. Being able to spend some time near water–especially here in the desert–is always welcome.
