On Friday, the 19th, Kay and her daughter, Sarah, joined me for a seven mile hike starting from the Wagner Trailhead.
Sunrise at the Wagner Trailhead:

We found an area, near Stoneman Wash, with numerous Senna flowers:
A view of (part of) the McDowells; look for Morrell’s Wall and Tom’s Thumb (and even Sven Slab) toward the right in the photo:
Some kind of hawk, we think:
Stoneman Wash:
This rabbit is missing a chunk of it’s right ear!
An interesting formation along the bank of Stoneman Wash:
A closer look…
A raven:
A view of the Superstitions in the distance from the Wagner Trail; both Weaver’s Needle (left of center) and the Flatiron (to the right) can be seen in this photo:

Thanks for the heads up on photo 11. You have a good eye for and ear missed by a hare.

FWIW, I didn’t see that it was missing a part of its ear until I got home.

Thanks! On that one, I wish I had been able to get some separation between the branch and its beak, but couldn’t get the angle due to foliage being in my way.
