Hanging Out

Not a lot happening here along the American Girl. Roaming about the desert is the highlight of my day, that and hunting hummingbirds. My walk is always interesting in its own way, the desert is a pretty cool place to wander, you can ramble back and forth with no set destination, changing course on a whim and and zigging and zagging back and forth across the landscape.

It was a beautiful day today, warm, but a little breezy, so the temperatures didn’t climb too high. Took a few pictures, read a few books and stalked the hummingbirds most of the day. They are tricky and the winds today made them even quicker. This fellow was a little yellower than usual it seems.

We had a visit today by a couple of Osprey’s, the Marine kind, Boeing Tiltrotor aircraft. They are odd looking machines but can land either like a chopper or like an airplane, I guess, and are much faster than normal helicopters.

I wonder what these Marines think about as they buzz the RV’s in the desert.
