Once again we would like to thank our hosts: Klaus, Ivar, Fishing Guy, Sandy, Wren and Louise. Without them there would be no Sky Watch.
And once again I am turning to my daughter, Kathryn, for photographs. She took these in Pacific Grove, California, where every year at this time there appears a carpet of purple ice plant. Combined with the water and the beautiful blue skies, it makes a fantastic picture. If you see a small person in any of the photos, that would be my youngest grandson.
A beautiful day in Pacific Grove.
A path through the purple carpet.
Watching the boats in Monterey Bay.
Somewhere in this purple carpet you might find my grandson.
And she had one made into a jig saw puzzle for me for Mothers' Day.
You may be able to tell on this one that the purple continues for a couple of miles, along the shore of the Bay.
