Santa Monica, California ~ October 28, 2006
This is not the image I have when I think of Santa Monica - nor is it the image I have when I think of October. These blossoms were a pleasant surprise on a visit in 2006 when we stopped to get something at a boutique grocery store on Montana Avenue.
The flowers were wonderful, but what really surprised me was where they came from. . . .

I hadn't expected to see this huge pink tree reaching for the sky!
