Lots of lupine which as you know is not the easiest to photograph in afternoon light. By the way, the bush we see so much of on the left is what I call Bursage. (bursages (Ambrosia species) with seeds that have spiky projections so that they are dispersed by attachment to animals' fur.) It's not a pretty plant per se as it doesn't really bloom with color: https://www.desertusa.com/flowers/Burro ... rsage.html
