Harbor light (and the answer to the mystery!)

 

Light on Bodega Harbor, 9 December 2016

P.S.  If you're wondering about last night's mystery flower (to review it, click here) — the answer is...Dichondra donelliana!  It might have been challenging to identify because the flowers of this species are inconspicuous; sometimes they're even found underground!  Dichondra is a low-growing plant in the morning glory family.  I'll address it more fully in a future post, but for now I thought you'd like to know the answer!
