A few from Solstice Canyon, Malibu
Took a mile and a half hike today up Solstice Canyon mainly to take some flower macros as well as see the ruins of the "Tropical Terrace", a home built in the 50's but burned down in th '80s by a wildfire. Not much left to see now, but I bet back in it's heyday it must have been a sight to see.
Just as I was about to head back down the canyon I felt this horrible pain just below my knee, I jerked up my leg only to see something yellow (probably a hornet) stinging me. Boy, did that little bugger pack a whallop of a sting!!! That was about 2:30 pm...it's now 7:00 pm and it still hurts!!
Anyhow, here are a few pictures from today's little adventure:
#1 Blooming Slim Aster (Aster subulatus)
#2 California Fuschia bud (Epilobium canum)
#3 Poison Oak leaf (Toxicodendron diversilobum)
