7/05/09 CLOUDS AND SUNDROPS




Sunday, 8:00 AM. 65 degrees, wind W, light. The channel is calm, the sky clear and the barometer predicts rain. Another beautiful morning.
I awoke early and took Lucky to the beach. I took a trash bag along since I assumed there would be lots of litter after yesterday, but there was very little to pick up, people are really pretty respectful. We watched the La Pointe fireworks from the porch, that was enough for us this year.
The yellow flower is sundrops, Oenothera perennis, also called evening primrose. It is in the evening primrose family, the Onagraceae. This one is on the beach, but it is a rather common plant of dry soils.
