Pacific Grove, Feast for Eyes

Stunning beauty!

Feast for eyes!

The cold, windy and dreary weather kept me inside for a while.

But I knew soon I had to be out there with my camera to witness the most amazingly beautiful magic carpet of brilliant fuchsia ice plants by the ocean, that no photos do it justice.

Along the rugged shoreline of Pacific Grove, against the backdrop of deep blue ocean, the vivid fuchsia ice plants is truly stunning.

When I said I'm waiting for spring here, in my mind I meant these ice plants.

I barely caught the sight of it last year, my first year here.

At a place where there seems to be no clear distinction of the seasons, these awesome plants are clearly marking the the beginning of a new season in my mind, that the spring has come.  

 People young and old, with their kids and cannine friend are bicycling all over.

This ground covering ice plants forms a ground-hugging carpet, and they bloom every season faithfully.
