Did our regular hike, though we added an additional bit by exploring an area east of Right Branch Arroyo that we'd never been in before; saw many blooming yuccas and Claret Cup Cacti there.
As we were driving out after the trek we came upon a guy and Basset Hound near a car parked on LDR just off Tellbrook. I was surprised to see a vehicle there; it's an unsafe place to park.

I love the photo of the Cactus Wren on the Yucca flowers. And also the close-ups of the new growth on the Prickly Pear cactus.
