More Claret Cups

Mormon Tea buds
Dr. K, Willow and I had a good hike this morning; weather conditions were just right:  sunny, warm, no wind.  While we descended LDR-A we saw Two-White-Dogs-Lady in the desert far north of us; a moment later she and her pups were bushwhacking westward.  They were the only nature enthusiasts we spotted out there today.  The wind is supposed to get brutal tomorrow so we hope we can get in an early morning hike to avoid the blowing dust and sand.

Beautiful images of the flowering cacti, Packrat. I especially like the image of the White Tackstem.

Looked like a Sphinx Moth larva from a distance, but no It felt really hot out there this morning as Dr. K, Willow and I did the daily trek....
