The Thursday Ramblers were out exploring at Manchester State Beach several weeks ago. They walked along the long-closed Alder Creek Road. It has gotten very overgrown, but there were lots of native wildflowers this summer. Mary Sue Ittner sent in these photos.

Looks like they had a beautiful day for their ramble. Here is a Seep-spring Monkey Flower, Mimulus guttatus.

And Seaside Daisy, Erigeron glaucus.

Thanks to Mary Sue for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

We have had a lot of fog on the coast this past week. It does clear in the afternoon, but soon returns. This is why some people call August by the name "Fogust."

John Sperry has been enjoying the wildflower show in the Timber Cove area in Sonoma County. The first photo is of Seaside Daisies, Erigeron glaucus. They grow in sunny places right in the sand.

Paintbrush, Castilleja, is another striking wildflower blooming now. It is often called Indian Paintbrush. Indeed, native peoples used this plant for various uses.
