There are some pretty plump and healthy looking Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina) pups around right now. Nice to see!

Bright green

Peter asked if some of the paler flowers in the last photo were Tidy Tips (Layia platyglossa) with almost no yellow. Well, the more distant view and the camera didn't really pick up the color pattern, so here's a closer view showing the petals with yellow bases and fun white tips.
Cheery little flowers, aren't they? :)
