In the other direction ....

Snapped this quick shot when I drove back to a familiar road (in the distance), after taking the Wildcat Hills Rd. on 2 April 2013. It was just a short detour, but one I had never done before, though I had passed the intersection many times before. So glad I did decide to "explore", as I got a beautiful view in front of me (out of sight, behind where I was standing here). Actually, I pulled over just a bit further down this road, as I noticed a bird of prey and a Magpie feeding on something that must have been dead in the field. Unfortunately, what turned out to be a Northern Harrier, decided to fly off almost immediately. It takes me about an hour and a quarter to get from home to this location.
