Bayside: The Dew is on the Roses

Mar 27, 2024,18:45 PM
 

We walked along a favorite trail today, with a twist - first we walked up the street where house entrances and driveways are, then doubled back along the bay, where we are able to see (from the path) what they can see from inside their homes, or from their back yards.



We have a surprising mix of flowers and other plants, architecture, and animals today.



Lots of bright flowers!



And colorful birds too!





A friend of ours, no longer with us, lived for decades in this big wooden home.



So much competition between flowers - size, shape, color, alluring items "Choose me, Mr. Bee"



"Come to me, Mrs Hummingbird"



"Come to us!" they sing in chorus, "Yellow is mellow!"




Whoa! That's a bright bird. It must have gotten the yellow memo...



With a colorful orange/green competitor amidst the pink/purple flowers.





Remember this windvane, we will see it from the bayside too.



Could be the south of France -- if you've ever been there, do you agree?



I can see the road doesn't continue, but I wonder if the sign is referring to the Rivian, given the company's inability to stop the red ink in their books.



Now the sun has gotten warmer, the dew is OFF the roses, and we turn a corner and continue towards the bay.



We pass a flock of Birds of Paradise flowers.

We are now on the trail looking back eastward at the San Diego Yacht Club across the calm but rippling cove. Looking west. I spot our first reptile of the day. Let's call it Lizard #1 An attention & warmth-seeking cormorant stretches his wings for us....  

Wow 🙏🏻

Don't feast too much, your eyes might be too full for a second course...
