We did our usual route plus a bit extra when I realized, upon reaching our favorite Torrey Yucca in Right Branch Arroyo, that I forgot yet again to take phone photos of the Claret Cup Cactus flowers I had already photographed with my camera; so we doubled back to get those pics.
Again I was surprised that the Claret Cup was blossoming on such an overcast day, and when we got up into the right branch I was equally surprised to discover another hedgehog starting to flower.  Usually the blossoms don't open unless it's sunny out.
