Sightings on a walk through Crest Canyon with my father: Torrey Pine cones, prickly pear pups (if that's what they're called), a San Diego wreath plant (once known as wand chicory), Del Mar manzanita, a great egret hunting in the lagoon, mountain mahogany (?), buckwheat, the ragged parts of a funnelweb spider web, buckwheat cut away along the trail with Torrey Pines in the background, and for good measure (below), a silver argiope spider busily wrapping what looks to be a bee between the signature lightning bolts, and something whose name I don't know but am inclined to call (continuing the spider theme) tarantula grass!
