After I decided to post some of Bob’s Hawaiian shirt prints on the website, Bob noted that I had some colorful prints that deserve some attention too. So here is one of Bob’s favorites (and mine too). Click on the image for the super-size.

Well, actually, baked in the outdoor grill - it’s too warm to run the oven in the house. We had a green salad and corn on the cob. I had a Sam Adams with mine, and Verna had a glass of chardonnay.

Every year, this Devil’s Tongue barrel cactus produces several of these brilliant yellow flowers nestled amongst the needles and spikes. You might be tempted to smell these, but might be in for something other than the fragrance.

These pink Portulacas seem to get pinker every year. Portulaca, or moss rose, is a popular drought-tolerant annual. Plants are low-growing spreaders with thick succulent stems and vibrant, cup-shaped flowers.
This is a tough little shrub and blooms every late spring and summer. You can see some new buds getting ready to erupt into more pinkness. These also come in other vibrant colors including white and yellow. Click on image for wallpaper size.

Looking closely at some of the photos I took last weekend at Point Vicente, I found this beautiful brown gull gracefully soaring on the updrafts along the cliff line.
