Amsinckia intermedia.On hike with Linda and Alan. Also may other unidentified yellow flowers, lovely orange mallows, and a pair of dancing Two-tailed Swallowtails, like this one.

Rafinesquia neomexicana. The ocotillos were in full bloom, the moutain sides were yellow with brittlebush, the hopbushes were creamy-pink with flowers. Also beautiful phacelias, fairy dusters, and lupines. We saw a Brown Towhee up by the pools.
