It was pretty darn cold this morning when we went for our sunrise walk. We both had coats and gloves on. The wind was blowing but not as bad as it has been. After our walk we went over to the Yuma Proving Grounds Army base. I was going to get a haircut (I usually get my once a year haircut that Connie does not give me there) but they were closed until further notice. Seems they are having trouble keeping a barber there. Also went to the commissary and bought a few groceries. Then we decided to go out to Ferguson Lake which is on the Colorado River. It had warmed up when we got there so just unloaded the kayak and went for a paddle. Was good to get back on the water. That pretty well took up our day with just enough time for a walk and a bike ride when we got back.

Long shadows. You can see how cold Connie looks. Zeus does not seem to mind though.
The ocatillo leaves are really green and bright this year.
Our camp.
We drove by the farming area in Imperial Valley this morning where they raise a lot of produce. Here they are picking cauliflower.
This is looking north down on Ferguson Lake and the Colorado River with an ocatillo in the foreground.
The landscape in parts of this area is pretty stark.
Connie is still wearing her jacket.
Paddling up on some ducks in a small inlet.
