Soaptrees Everywhere

1st 3:  Soaptree Yuccas in flower
A huge storm last night left the atmosphere in the desert this morning almost completely saturated with moisture. I couldn't tell if the high humidity bothered Willow and Frio, but it sure was stifling for me.

I saw three pairs of woman/man hikers not long after starting off today, but none of them had dogs.  The critters we saw that were of most interest to me were the House Finches who were making a meal of Soaptree Yucca flowers way up in Right Branch Arroyo.

On the way home I drove over to our local Circle K to fuel the CR-V.  I swear it was the slowest gas pump I've ever used in my life.



Pretty decent camouflage
