I've made a faux pas, a gaffe, a grave error! I've been a victim of my own horticultural hubris! I have (gasp) misidentified plants! No one accused me of this; I accuse myself.

I went on a good, long hike Tuesday, which shows you how tired I was, since it's two days later and I'm only just getting around to posting the shots and photo essay. This time I'm not doing . . .

I took a walk down to the beach and back this morning. These are some of the things that caught my eye.

Sunday was another of what the Irish would call a "soft day" - overcast, humid, mild, and occasional light showers. I went back down to Ballard Park to see if I could convince some songbirds . . .
