Chado Tea

Some good Tea was consumed at lunch!

Aeonium 'Cyclops' (Giant Red Aeonium)

28 January 2017:

This wild succulent is growing next to the driveway. It is huge, and has a very bright yellow bloom coming straight up out of the plant. You can just make out a bee busy pollinating the flower in the lower right. I think this plant, including the flower, is about a meter high.

These succulents apparently like our cool and wet winter and spring weather.

Lily started this plant using a cutting from a parent plant that Steve and Dee once had next door.

Wilson Park

21 January 2017:

Today we walked three laps on the walking path at Wilson Park in Torrance on a very brisk morning. Lily then did some shopping at the Farmers' Market that is always set up in the nearby parking lot.

Naples Canal, Long Beach

28 December 2016:

We walked the canals in Naples, Long Beach today. The weather was rather nice, as you can see. These canals are a part of the Belmont Shores area, at the very eastern end of Long Beach.

Watermans, with one light out

6 December 2016, number 2.

I like the nice tans on this building. Watermans is one of my favorite photo subjects at Hermosa Beach pier plaza.

It looks like they just put in this new sign and lighting, which is maybe why it attracted my attention on Tuesday night.

Cymbidium Orchid

3 December 2016:

The orchid in our downstairs bathroom has been dropping its blooms. Lily collected them for me after they had dried out a bit. I took a photo of one tonight.
