Rose in bloom

For Cee’s Flower of the Day.

This rose is on Irondale Beach. It is standing wild, but the blossoms are 5 inches across and it is such a vivid color. I do not know if it is wild or not.

I have read the Louisa May Alcott book, Rose in Bloom. I loved the clearly stated ethics in those books when I was little. As if there were rules and they could be learned and followed, even though I knew that the real world was much more confusing and people were much more mysterious.

We hiked out Dungeness Spit today. Not all the way, but about half way. It is gorgeous even though the sun stayed hidden.

This rock was bigger than my boot. Lots and lots of beautiful rocks!
