I had camera, well, phone, in hand, having removed it from its storage location on my cargo shorts, hoping to be able to get a photo of the roadrunner which had run across the Circle Trail about 50 feet ahead of me.
But, the illusive bird was not seen again once I had the phone ready to take a picture.
So, when I saw my shadow looking so dark I switched from looking for the roadrunner, to taking a picture of the Shadow of the Thin Man.
I look as if I have lost an arm.
I think the winds which have been blowing strong from the west have blown away the allergens which were causing me to be in constant sinus headache mode.
Being in constant sinus headache mode is extremely tiresome. Even after taking a medication which lessened the severity of the misery, there was still a constant dull ache.
That is now gone.
Today I hiked as far as the highest point in the Wichita Bluff Nature Area before turning around.
At the highest point on the Wichita Bluffs there is a covered picnic pavilion with two picnic tables.
In the view above we are looking east at the Wichita River and the stunning skyline of beautiful downtown Wichita Falls in the distance.
There were a lot of people enjoying the Nature Area today, having fun with the strong gusts which seemed to make it a challenge at times to remain vertical.
I had planned on going on an early evening bike ride today, what with pleasant temperatures and extra daylight, but the sky has clouded up in the last hour, and possible thunderstorms are now on the weather menu.
