Hedgehogs and Yuccas

This & next:  morning clouds

Semi-cloudy morning for our daily hike today; Dr. K, Willow and I enjoyed it nonetheless.  Both when we stepped out of the CR-V, and later when we returned to it after our trek, we saw two guys hiking along the upper flatland road.  Claret Cups still blooming out there as are the Faxon Yuccas.
