Summer has arrived! In the mid 90's all this week, including today. It was a beautiful day with a deep blue sky (not often seen in Phoenix w/all the air pollution!) and white clouds. May & June are my favorite months in Phoenix because the temps are in the 90's - low 100's so it's hot but not too hot yet. At this time of year @ Dreamy Draw, if you hit the trails in the mid-afternoon there is scarcely anyone around, only a handful of mountain bikers, cyclists, and runners/hikers. That was the case today, too. Nice!
I saw my first Roadrunner of the year this afternoon, in one of the residential neighborhoods bordering part of the park - on the main concrete path just east of the walking bridge that runs across the 51 north. A few Cottontails were out & about as well. Nice day!
**I took this photo a few weeks ago in April. This cactus species blooms each April for only a few weeks, but it's a beautiful flower.
Sunday May 9th: I went for another hour run today. Today was basically a repeat of yesterday weather-wise with more beautiful blue skies and some white clouds. Yesterday's sky was a little bluer and the white clouds a little puffier, but still very nice today! Haha....
Saw a warbler or vireo species (lime green colored w/yellow flanks) on the main concrete path, just east of the ramadas, before you get to the trailhead on the right. Didn't get a close enough look to ID it definitively .
