Visit to South Coast Botanic Garden
We went to the South Coast Botanic Garden today. It was a very cloudy morning, but the diffuse lighting was great. This is the top of an unknown plant in the cactus garden area. Spikes!

October 23: This is the south end of Lake Mamie, which lies 8,901 feet above sea level. There were very few people up there today, all the campgrounds are closed, and the area feels like it is waiting for winter.
