The fresh orange juice is one is the best items in the grocery stores here.

Correct. Size and taste were good, and while probably greenhouse grown, the fruit was relatively local.

I wouldn’t trust that wheel! It’s held up by paper sippy straws …

How often does the sand blow into the houses here? I shudder at the thought.

A “different” version of swimming, picnicking, and camping. The bike parking is equipped with washing capabilities, free of charge.;)

They are not actually flowers, they are cones, but male cones that produce pollen while the big, woody ones are female and produce seeds.

I looked for a source of info. for a while but all I found was information on pine pollen supplements, health foods, allergy, wild foraging, etc.

"Pollen cones" is out there somewhere though. It is one thing that stuck with me from my college Botany back in the 1960s.

In a day or so, those pollen cones will be dusting everything!
