I was hiking out in Granite Mountains today ( 11-12 ). Great weather with breezes blowing from the northeast. I put three photos I took on the hike at:

They are the first three pics. One shows the Yucca Whipplei that I found blooming on 10-30 as it looked this afternoon around 3:30PM. A Yucca blooming in November? Must be the magic in those beautiful rocky mountians :-)
