We walked to the chocolate jade mine this afternoon. Perfect weather for it.
This beautiful black burro was very unhappy to have us there and huffed at us until we were out of sight. Tux is terrified of burros, especially when they huff, and ran out of sight. She didn't respond to calls and whistles so we decided to turn back to search for her.
We split up, Bob going back to the truck to hook up with me at a rendezvous point. The collies went with me down the adjoining wash. These pretty flowers were growing out of the rock and sand in the shade of an old Palo Verde tree.
Bob found Tux back at the truck where we kind of figured she'd end up. She considers the truck or Rhino her safe spot and always finds a way back. We ran into this flop ear guy on our way home.
