Kate and I drove down the coast and then along Highway 101 to return to Marin County from Southern Oregon. It was a beautiful drive with many scenic vistas.
So what did my eye focus upon with an idea of a journal page?
This sweet little flowering plant that was popping up through the pavement of a parking area.
I am always touched by the blooms that fight their way through obstacles to bring a little beauty and brightness into my day.
The funny story to go along with this page is the fact that I managed to bleach the bottom of some brand new bright blue pants. After using the porta potty, I remarked to Kate how clean they were and how I could smell the Clorox odor. "They must have just cleaned them just for us" I exclaimed to Kate.
Later on I looked down to see that the bottom edge of my pants had a bright white rim where it had touched the floor of the potty. Now, I will always remember my drive down the coast when ever I wear the pants.

Good warning! If I smell bleach, don't let my pants or purse touch the ground.
I like flowers that manage to grow in such harsh conditions too. By my daughter's house, palm trees start in some of the larger cracks! You've done a nice job on showing the flowers and the cracked cement.
You were SO happy that they were clean enough that you could smell the Clorox too. :( Ah well!
