Default Tiny Butterflies

It was HOT in the desert today. So rather than deal with the triple-digit temperatures, I decided to go for a hike up around 10,000′ in the nice, breezy, mid-70’s. God, I love where I live…









Thanks for taking the time to look! As always, any and all comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, everyone, for the comments!

It's nice to have the mountains closeby. I couldn't live in the desert without the escape. I love the desert but I need a placwe to get out of the heat in the summer...

Thanks again for looking!
