It’s not just the ocean. It’s not just the desert. If it weren’t for the drought, this climate would be perfect. Sunflowers and cactus; lily ponds and lavender; statice and agapanthus; poppies and birds of paradise; daisies and rosemary; the spectacular and the ordinary, all beautiful. Visual wonders never cease!
The big lily pond in Balboa Park is a favorite childhood memory.
