Unexpected beauty.

Abalone Cove.  The name alone elicits visions of blue seas, shimmering beaches and rock pools teeming with life.  While the sea was a magnificent color that day, when we visited Abalone Cove, there was no shimmering beach, and we were there at the wrong time of day for rock pools.  It's not a pretty beach.  It's covered in rocks worn smooth by the ocean waves.




We found a delightful little plant we'd never seen before.  A nondescript little plant, covered in what looked like blisters.  And while we got a few pictures of these curious little flowers, those were not my favorite pictures from that day.



These are my favorite pictures of the day.



Unexpected beauty.
