In AWE at work

Monday morning I arrived at the Casa, grabbed my note pad and camera to plan out the day - just before my morning volunteers arrived.
The gardens were sooooooo beautiful! I just started taking photos.
This garden , 2 years ago, had one large green weed in it. Now it is bursting with sunflowers, salvia, basil, Lions tail, Mexican Mint Marigold...

Looking the sunflower in the face from the ocean side. It is about 10 feet tall.

The succulent garden is just dramatic. Couldn't believe the size of this Hen @ Chick! That's the big round one on the bottom. Can't see the chicks, they are developing under the hen :)
