Coast Lily, a beautiful short-blooming native wildflower, as photographed by Craig Tooley.

I love Coast Lilies, Lilium maritimum. They are considered rare and only found in wet areas within two miles of the ocean. Craig Tooley recently photographed one, one of his Pics O Joy.

Promise me to never pick them or to dig them up in the wild. Just enjoy their fleeting beauty. Beauty is something we need more of in today's world.

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.ruffimage.com

The fog rolled in overnight, ending our warm stretch for a few days.
