| Very tall Soaptree Yuccas in an arroyo |

| A very small (less than 3') "feeder" arroyo |

| Rainbow Hedgehog and Barrel Cactus |

| This Barrel still bears a fruit from last year |

| Some critters (Packrats, Jackrabbits) definitely relished this Prickly Pear pad |

| Our long-time landmark |

I wonder if the living part of that yucca will be able to grow back.
An interesting question, Dr. K. I'll try to keep an eye on it in the future; it'll give me a reason to keep visiting.

From many of the photos you've posted, those Torrey Yuccas look like sentinels of the dessert; they seem to have a spiritual presence. (There must be a story in there somewhere.)
Hi Jacqui! Yes, I think they do have a spiritual presence.
