There are many different kinds of beauty. We think of this most often in our interactions
with people, but this is also the case regarding different regions of the
United States. When I first met my
husband he had joined the Navy from Colorado and was living in Massachusetts. According to him, no place was as beautiful
as Colorado; I have met others who feel the same about where they are from. The neat thing about visiting different parts
of the United States is getting to see all the different kinds of beauty there
are.
I recently vacationed in Northern California and it is not
hard to find beauty there. I have always
loved the ocean so viewing the majestic Pacific Ocean was a treat! But I also love seeing the same plants that
are familiar in a different environment as well as new varieties of
plants. For instance, Queen Anne’s Lace
is beautiful anywhere, but especially near the ocean. In a little town south of San Francisco
called Half Moon Bay (it was a charming town) I saw my first artichoke plant
and Calla Lilies that were as tall as I am.
And all along the coast there is a beautiful ground cover that the
locals call “Ice” and it has succulent like leaves with pretty pick and yellow
flowers. Today’s blog is pictures of
some of the beautiful plants I saw on our trip to California. Enjoy!!
