magical sights from HMB this weekend…
While the Pelican armada hugged the seaside cliffs, streaming overhead on a slipstream, an alien probe erupted from the garden. (photo below)

For the past seven years, nothing like this has happened, and now it reaches above the second story balcony:
and then I spied a nightcap of faith, trust and pixie dust… the way of Half Moon Bay
P.S. we happened to have a flowering plant expert with us (he’s a Navy fighter pilot, so he’ll like that description)… and he identified it right away – the blue agave that gives us tequila. It is also called the "century plant" as it takes many years to bloom. It grows this huge mast once, flowers, and then dies.

If Nouriel Roubini is to be believed we are all now "Century Plants".

It is really strange but to the untrained eye (mine) the pelicans look fake.. like a wood carving.

I think I shot (w/ camera) the very same pelicans, too. Loved how they hugged the cliffs. The video from my Flip did not compare to what my aging eyes can see, and so it doesn’t show them going around the cliff faces. (but I did get a nice fly-over)
If that’s the kind of flower I think it is, it wreaks when it blossoms. I didn’t see any pixies 🙁
