This fragrant shrub was blooming. Have to research what it is.

Fog rolled in with the tide yesterday afternoon. Water was rough and the surf was booming. But the sea birds, seals, and sea lions took it in stride.

Good flowery-mushroom morning!

Another oddball fungus, looking like flowers, but not. Sort of upside down with the gills on top instead of underneath.

Enjoying nature’s inventiveness and wanted to share it with you all.

Soooo just heard from my old coworker Lora that I used to work with in CA at a luxury hotel she works at new Hotel now in #Maui. Her daughter just posted in last hour that her mom Lora was evacuated but the whole town of Lahaina is just gone. They don’t know if their house is burned down or not. The phone cut out before they could finish talking service bad. My friend is safe but her home and job may not be there when it’s all over. Just devastating. So sad for my friend Lora and her family. 🙏 😭
