Bull snake sets off on morning rounds at the same time as Cowboy and I.

Mustard family still well-represented on the mesa top.

Dust-up on the hilltop to the south, a quarter mile away. It looks like the more familiar locals are chasing off a dark gray interloper.

More of a familiar bunch, protected from the visiting gray.

It’s a wonder I notice anything, since my head usually is in the clouds.

Social distancing may be getting to poor Bebe, the French bulldog who lives up the hill. She has a crush on Cowboy and can only bark a greeting as we return home.
