No – it doesn’t have anything to do with the internet.
Verna took this photo today after the gentle rain cleared up and before the droplets on the spider web evaporated. I think it’s an interesting effect. Click on the image to enlarge.
Iceplant in Bloom
A neighbor has these beautiful, bright yellow iceplant flowers blooming in the parkway. There are also bright orange ones blooming just a few feet away.
The Cactus Garden – Panorama

From the South Coast Botanic Gardens web pages:
The Cactus Garden came into being in the early 1970’s, through the dedication of the South Coast Cactus & Succulent Society. Many hours were spent planning and designing this specialty garden. This garden features a desert setting with extensive displays of exotic cactus and succulents found in arid areas all over the world. As part of our ongoing Plant Identification Project, over 100 identifying labels have been placed in the Cactus Garden.
Beef Stroganoff
Beef Loin prepared with mushrooms served over a bed of noodles. Low fat and low cholesterol version. This was REAL good . . .
Stormy Weather?
Not really stormy – this is the west end of Morro Rock, taken from Morro Dunes Beach in Morro Bay, California. The weather is sort of foggy and the waves are turbulent as they crash around the rocks. The date Verna took this photo was July 23, 2009. Click on the image to view the big version.
Surf at Point Vicente
I panned across the surf from the Point Vicente Interpretive Center to get this short video.
