Warm, morning sunlight caused the dew to glisten on the flowers .... and the empty beer bottle. This is why I pick up trash as I hike the trails.

Temp started at 44, ended at 75.  Intermittant NE breeze at 0-5mph.  Sunny.

Easy hike along trails that were dry,e asy to see and traverse.  More birds are out singing for mates, blue and purple flowers are making an appearance and I saw a few white flowers on the bee bush.  I saw a Jack Rabbit and a few deer were spotted in the distance.  It was a quiet and peaceful hike.  Nothing unusual to report or caution about.
