With Teddy at Red Rock Canyon
I took Teddy to Red Rock today because I wanted to take pictures of the beautiful wildflowers that are all over the place due to the heavy rainfall in that area in the last 4 weeks. It's also part of getting used to life and hiking without my beloved Great Pyrenees Nanuk, whom we lost to old age 3 months ago. So Teddy is taking over as my main travel buddy, along with Cici and Prince.

even when it wasn't very hot today, the burros seemed to enjoy the shade from the yoshua trees
lots of little yellow flowers on the hillside
we were hiking through a wash here near Calico Basin, which is on the other side of the big red rock formation seen on the other pictures
I found this beautiful little rock
