Honey Mesquite flowering

Bit of a chilly wind this morning when Dr. K, Willow and I did our daily hike.  Also, the sun was playing hide-and-seek with the clouds, keeping the temperature down.  Nevertheless we had a good outing here in the lower desert, pleased at the number of plants leafing out and blooming.
