Disclaimer: This observation includes ALL the photographs I intended to take of this particular organism. That may NOT include images of the entire organism, all of its defining characteristics, or the general area in which it was found. I am already aware that this may reduce the likelihood of a species level identification.

Wee annual succulents in sandy, low-organic soil of a roadside verge on the NW corner of S Farber Avenue and W Payson Street, Glendora, CA. Photos taken with added light from a white-colored LED lamp. Photos # 1-2 taken in near total darkness after sunset with only artificial light, for a more dramatic image than the first one I took (photo # 3). Coin used for scale is a US quarter dollar (¢25 piece), 24.26 mm, 0.955 inch in diameter. Each line on the edge of the coin is approximately 0.64 mm apart.

This, and its twin observation (here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/147090117), is a follow-up observation to these ones from the same locality in the previous year:

There’s stork’s-bill all over this property. There is about a ten foot patch in which a few of them are partially white like the one in these photos. Outside of this ten foot patch, the rest of the stork’s-bills on this property look normal. It’s like this every year. Any idea why? Is this the plant’s natural color or a fungus or what?

Dusty paw prints found on the roof and hood of a car parked in front of Grossmont Hall at night. 5th photo shows a size comparison with my hand. The car itself was very dusty and unwashed.
Mammals I've seen in the area: Common Raccoons, Coyotes, Western Gray Squirrels, rats, Virginia Opossums, and rarely California Ground Squirrels. Unlikely to be from a resident like the Desert Cottontails.

A vast Dodder parasitizing a Datura and a Buckwheat. I've seen it here for a few years in a row if I recall correctly.

According to Vasily, the reproductive structures in photo 5 belong to the Dodder.
