Claret Cups and Yuccas Again

Distant yuccas

Dr. K had an AAUW meeting this morning so it was Willow and me on the daily trek.  The weather was warmer, and we had a good time doing a bit of bushwhacking.  I let her off lead while we were exploring the hill east of the right branch arroyo where I found several yuccas in bloom.  Both while we were driving to the trailhead and, later, when we were on the above-mentioned hill we spotted the Basset people and their hounds.  In the eighth photo here you can make them out in the far distance just left of the left head of the blooming yucca.
