I took the train to LA on Tuesday back today.

For years – decades – I've taken a picture of this spindly Poinsettia tree at the San Luis Obispo Amtrak station every time I pass through. I don't know why I like it so much. Usually has at least one bloom all year round.

Today I saw these trees with the bright orange blooms on them, I've never seen them bloom before. Does anyone know what these are?

Stop by the Sweetwater in Wildhorse Canyon.

The train was moving slowly past some of my favorite #Graffiti walls.

Back on the train with espresso and my ballot. The only thing good about my ballot is the sticker. Also: the salt ponds look good today.
