On Sunday I thought I would go out photographing -- but I seem to be going through one of those periods where I can't find a good photo anywhere.   The harder I try, the less I seem to find...

When I spotted this iceplant I was relieved that I could get that one photo to fill my quota for the day.

This (above) is the miniature variety of iceplant, but it looks like they have done a lot of hybridizing over the years -- this particular miniature variety is much larger -- about an inch and a half across.   The miniature variety I am familiar with (like what grows on the Pacific Grove waterfront) has small blooms, perhaps only a half inch in width.

After getting that first shot I remembered I could find some iceplant of the larger variety out at China Camp.   These are new photos, but I shot others a few weeks ago:   http://aphotoaday.blogspot.com/2009/04/ice-plant.html
