Bloomin' Good Day

Becca embarking on flower quest
Becca and I didn't actually set off to hunt down flowers on our morning hike, but we were greeted by the beautiful blossoms on quite a few Torrey Yuccas.  An additional bonus was discovering the first blooming Claret Cup Cactus in all of the Chihuahuan Desert.  What a find!
