Fibonacci numbers found in Passion flower


Here is a photo I took of a passion flower. My first thought in looking at it was hey I bet it has Fibonacci numbers. It does, and not only that , but it received its name from a scholar named Jacomo Bosio living in Rome in 1609 who related all the numbers of petals, stamen etc; to the crucifixion of Christ.

Northern California at the Beach.


I am a devoted fan of the beach, love my California beaches, No. Cal is different than So. Cal, we're foggy here in certain areas, sun comes out , but generally rolls back in every day. Our water is much colder, but everyone sort of puts up with it, surfers wear wet suits, and everyone else just sort of goes numb, and then you generally don't feel it so much. Nothing beats the beach. Here I am near the Miramar restaurant, sort of near Half Moon bay, closer to Moss Beach. The restaurant is really nice, a little pricey but what a view.
