Forest Friday

Mountain road

Dr. K, Willow and I had a nice hike in the forest behind the cabin this morning.  Our out-of-the-way detour to the mountain hedgehog paid off; we found one bud had blossomed.  Perhaps we'll go there tomorrow morning to see if others have flowered.  After the trek Dr. K and I drove down to Alamogordo to Lowe's Signature Market to pick up items we need up here at the cabin.

What manner of beast is this?
