I love the unfamiliar trees that line the beach.
I especially love the Norfolk Pines, with their up-curved branches and exaggerated silhouettes.
Succulents fare really well here — these grass-like ones cover many of the sand dunes. I have no clue what they are!

What are you exploring this weekend?
