It’s the fabled white rose of the grocery store parking lot!

I managed to get out to the local botanical gardens again for a mild hike / photo walk. Large parts of the grounds are designed to look wild, though the plants are all grouped by category and labeled. Other parts are obviously manicured. I also have photos of a snail hidden in a rosemary bush and a lizard that…wasn’t very hidden!

There’s a hawthorn hedge near work that’s absolutely covered with flowers for a length of around 40 feet. I walk past it several times a week. I’d never noticed the scent of these flowers before, but it’s impossible to miss right now!
Correction: It’s more like 100 feet. Not sure why I wrote 40.
Spring at the local botanic gardens.
Spring at the local botanic gardens. Cherry blossoms, an artfully arranged “living wall” of plants, an aloe with its flower stalk, and some poppies.
More photos on my Flickr account if you’re interested.

I had a hard time narrowing down which of these to post, and finally settled on two from the a6000, one from my phone in portrait mode, and one from my phone in regular mode.
The simulated depth of field on the Pixel 2 still looks a *little* off in most pictures, but it’s always better than I expect it to be!

Finally got around to curating my photos from an August hike at Madrona Marsh in Torrance, California. This was the first time I’d ever been to the marsh that there was *no standing water left*. Usually the lowest part of the preserve still has some ponds even into fall, but this summer, it had all dried up.

I was surprised the bee let me get this close with the camera.
I was surprised the bee let me get this close with the camera. I mean, it wasn’t as close as it looks – this is a crop – but still…
Purple flowers on the unmaintained greenbelt (which is more of a brown belt this time of year) beneath a set of transmission lines.
Some sort of purple flowers in the unmaintained greenbelt under a set of transmission lines.
Some sort of purple flowers on the unmaintained greenbelt beneath a set of transmission lines. A lot of it is more of a brown belt this time of year, but I think this section gets water seeping over from neighboring yards.

Cherry blossoms at the South Coast Botanic Garden. The whole park is curated, with some parts arranged to seem wild(ish) and others, like this one, more garden-like.
Indian hawthorn flowers in bloom, spotted on my lunch hour walk.
Indian hawthorn flowers in bloom, spotted on my lunch hour walk. It’s been a warm winter in California, and we’ve finally gotten some rain over the last few weeks (not enough, but some is better than none).
Anyone know what kind of flowers these are?
