Photos from Monday morning’s hike of the Tech Loop in McDowell Mountain Park…

I saw a large spider web with a medium size spider between the arms of an ocotillo. The spider has plenty to eat. Even though there are a lot of bugs in the web, there were still plenty out to bother me as I hiked.

I came across this young tortoise in the “Dan’s Delight” portion of the Tech Loop.  It was moving surprisingly fast.  I didn’t get much time to get a shot before it hid in a bush.

Perhaps 200 yards later, I came across a larger tortoise, perhaps the young one’s mother.
