celebrating summer


We made a visit on Friday to West Marin. The drive through Samuel P. Taylor State Park was nothing less than glorious. The light, the smell, the perfect temperature. I gave a nod to my father, who saw no reason to travel anywhere else. Yes Dad, perhaps your were right.
We stopped at Devil's Gulch to visit the Mother Tree, the one I propagate from in the fall and early winter. This tree has spawned many offspring, one growing in our backyard to full blooming adulthood.
After a brief stop for sandwiches  we headed out the Marshall Beach Road, where the fog had overtaken the sun.


Our lunch spot was the Coast Guard Cemetery, an off missed spot on the tourist trail.


After consuming our lunch we headed to a spot, definitely on the tourist list.



We'll come back in the winter. But the day ended with the Night Blooming Ceres showing it's glory. Something I often miss because it only blooms for one night.


A perfect ending to a perfect day.
