A greenish-yellow wildflower. It looks like maybe the buds haven't opened yet. Yellow wildflowers on stems that resemble rosemary. I have no idea what kind of plant this is.

An old decrepit abandoned building in the toxic dead tree zone near Mammoth Mountain. (It was probably an emergency snow cabin or something.) Natural CO2 outgassing from a magma body beneath Mammoth Mountain asphyxiated more than 100 acres of trees near Horseshoe Lake in the early 1990s. The gasses become concentrated to deadly levels in enclosed structures such as cabins. An old decrepit abandoned building in the toxic dead tree zone near Mammoth Mountain.
