pink oleander

Some pink oleander I encountered on an evening walk, illuminated in the setting sun. I hadn't really thought about oleander in a long time.

new Venty Starby

We were shocked, in a good way, that the new Burger King-turned-Starbucks seems, to all appearances, to be clean, spacious and well-designed. We gave it a test run and so far it works (knock on wood).

This time Mrs. wore a perfectly matching shirt!

Lucky Llama plant

This interesting plant right next to us at Lucky Llama seems to be a fan aloe (Kumara plicatilis) from South Africa. This identification is courtesy the information button on my camera.

Lucky Llama revisited

We hadn't been here in a while. We discovered that this outdoor area in the back is more wind-protected and therefore a touch more pleasant that the usual outdoor seats.

Faria surf

The way the surf looked from Faria beach.

Faria picnic

Rather than settle for a "failed Faria", because it was closed that day, we tried something completely different and had a Faria picnic. It worked out well because although the owner was painting the tables, he kindly let us use one of them for our picnic.
