Yes, I will never forget this scene! Nature at its best.
5 years agoI jump around like a little fairy when I see flowers like this. The yellow hornbill poppy was really exciting. There’s no way we would have seen it had we taken the bus. This coastal beauty is a driver for sure. We don’t want to miss out on any of it. And it’s always changing.
5 years agoI have a quota of ‘trooper juice’ in me and when it’s gone, I’m done! In reality, cycle touring requires you to just suck it up, Buttercup. Nobody’s coming to the rescue, even though I secretly wish for it once in awhile.
5 years agoWell done! You are troopers! 🙌
5 years agoI don’t know how you managed to get back on your bikes, & ride away!? You must have been weak in the knees from this spectacular Oceanside stunning landscape!
Would you have missed all this, had you taken the bus?!
Stunning natural beauty!

5 years agoSounds like Type 2 fun. No problem for people from the “Wet Coast”. On the plus those dark clouds make for great photos.
5 years agoRachael’s right. I’m starting to feel envious of all the fun you’re having. It’s hard to top an upward deviation at the end of a long wet day.
5 years agoYou guys sure are tough. We had threatening weather but managed to find cover when the deluge happened.
5 years agoThanks guys! The plants here are so different than what I’ve seen before. Makes it exciting for a plant lover. The name is perfect, isn’t it? It had poppy like flowers and long horns that I am assuming form as the seed pod?
5 years agoScott, google searching led me to the same conclusion. And it is near seashore.

Looks like maybe aloe.

It is certainly a palette that’s worth remembering. Would make a beautiful background or colour combo for a quilt.
