Today's walk report: Two miles of forever

 It simply seemed like a very long walk but it was only two miles. That's all. 

Here are some pictures taken along the way.

I started out on this Crassula ovata, commonly known as jade plant, tracking bees with a close-up lens atop a 70-300mm zoom lens. The trick is to try and follow one bee. There were a lot of bees.






 Canna lily.


 It's still Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, sometimes it's hard to tell in Southern California. Highs have been in the low to upper 80ºs for the past week. These shots are all from the same Pistacia chinensis tree. I avoided leaves which remained predominantly green.







 Google insists that these are, Pandorea jasminoides 'Lady Di'. Who am I to argue?



 Argyranthemum frutescens, known as Paris daisy, marguerite or marguerite daisy.



 Zantedeschia aethiopica, commonly known as calla lily and arum lily.


 Monarch butterfly on Westringia fruticosa and Westringia fruticosa flowers solo. 




 Myrtus communis 'Variegata'. I guess. This is the only section of the plant that displays variegated leaves.


 Limonium perezii.


 California brittlebush (Encelia californica), also known as the California bush sunflower or coast sunflower. This was the only flower so far on the bush.


 Collapse the light into Earth
