Looks like mantis shrimp.

I'm guessing linaria (toadflax). The leaves at their base might belong to some rogue morning glory.

That said, the seeds of the yellow ones look like maybe Calendula.

Nice flower shots!

I looked and looked, but could not find good photo matches for either kind.

There's no surface as pleasant for riding as smooth new asphalt. No seams, bumps, or other irregularities.

By contrast the shoulder in this picture looks like poured concrete squares whose surface was raked while the concrete was still wet. And to make matters worse the raking is at inconsistent angles so steering is constantly being affected. That must have been really rough riding.

Makes us realize how lucky we are to have all that in our backyard.

Big ones! It seems like they are tall reeds that are dug partially in trenches to act as wind breaks.

Yeah, it is surprising what difference smooth asphalt makes, even with a tailwind.
