Now We're Talking Steamy

In the western foothills of Tortugas Mountain

All we needed for steam heat under current high humidity conditions was a full dose of sunshine.  We got it this morning.  Hope the last image doesn't offend readers, but when I first saw the scat pictured there it looked like coyote feces.  Then I saw the green grape-like object and figured it was a dog deposit from a canine who'd had grapes.  (Don't feed your dog grapes; they're potentially poisonous to canines.)  However, on closer visual inspection I find that I'm not so certain that is a grape.

First thought:  coyote scat (but what's the green spherical object?)
