The last big hike

Today was the last long hike in prep. for the Grand Canyon.   Hiked for 1:30 (which isn't very long, but I was dead tired and my legs were like bricks, so I suppose it was long enough).  I guess it was good practice to hike when I was so tired.  I had to stop a lot (under the guise of getting good pictures) to give myself some rest.  Good thing I'll have plenty to photograph in the Canyon- plenty of opportunity to stop and rest. ;)

Went out to Arcadia lake to hike the hills (again, and again and again). 

Saw a ladybug, and caught some birds in flight over the water.



















It was extremely windy (in the 25-30 mph sustained range), and it was warm, but the wind kept the warm from being too much.
It really was a nice day to be outside.  Even my ridiculous allergies couldn't keep me from having fun outside.
I only walked about 4 miles, but it was good practice.

Look out GC- we're coming your way in a week!!!  I hope you're ready for the Brown Invasion!
