I pushed my human out the door early this morning for a hike.

The weird spiky seed pods have opened up to disperse their seeds, for those who were curious about the plants.

What an amazing place. I love your desert photos, they have an almost alien beauty to me living in a perpetually damp hillscape 😃
@krnlg Thank you 😊 As someone who spent over a decade in the Blue Ridge mountains prior to moving to the desert, I can confirm that it seems pretty alien here.
