Patricks Point

An Iris, found just on the other side of the stone wall keeping people from falling down the cliff into the ocean.




Patricks Point

More wonderful purple flowers, Latin name Flowerus Purpleus. And for some reason, none of the signs leading there put an apostrophe in "Patricks." Probably due to the wind and crashing waves.




Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park

The whole area is called "Redwood National and State Parks." They are contiguous and jointly administered by the National Park Service and California State Parks. What a superb, intelligent idea. Collaboration. What a concept.
