That's the coldest 53 degrees you're ever gonna feel, less than a week after it was 98 for 10 days and 3 months. It's dewy and humid after raining abruptly for 2 days. Perfect conditions to go ride. Have to dig layers out of ...where are those layers anyway?

ICYMI: In-N-Out: A quintessential view of Southern California.
We dropped someone off at LAX and stopped at the In-N-Out Burger right at the edge of the north runway. It's a perfect place to photograph planes landing, they are only a couple of hundred feet off the ground. It's Instabae, as they say in Japanese, a place perfectly designed for likes on Instagram; and there were plenty of visiting hipsters… hermosawavephotography.com/260… #InNOut #SouthernCalifornia #Photography #AirplaneSpotting #LAX

Monsoonal clouds light up intensively as the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean, seen from Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, San Diego, California; September 2026.

"Ancient Towers" for #SaturdayScenery
This desert slot canyon is in the Carrizo Badlands, some 1.5 hours east of San Diego (and then about an hour of hiking with some scrambling).
Ironically, it is also cooler there today than it is in San Diego. 🥴 That the desert is cooler than the coastal areas and inland areas west of the mountains is not uncommon when we have Santa Ana weather, but it's certainly quite extreme at the moment...

“Everyone now and again wonders about
those questions that have no ready
answers: first cause, God's existence,
what happens when the curtain goes
down and nothing stops it, not kissing,
not going to the mall, not the Super
Bowl.
"Wild roses," I said to them one morning.
"Do you have the answers? And if you do,
would you tell me?"
The roses laughed softly. "Forgive us,"
they said. "But as you can see, we are
just now entirely busy being roses.”

Spurges are generally pretty weird in my opinion, and the aptly-named Beetle Spurge (Euphorbia eriantha) justly earns a spot in the top part of the list.
Maybe it's alien and should be called UFOrbia? 😅

Coyote Thistle for #ThistleThursday due to the common name... but this plant is actually in the Apiaceae family, while thistles belong to the Asteraceae 🤪
The scientific name is Eryngium aristulatum var. parishii and another common name is San Diego Button Celery.
This is a rare/endangered native plant, due to limited distribution and habitat loss. It grows in vernal pools, of which >90% in San Diego have been lost due to development.

“Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers.
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too rough fingers
Of the world.”
