These pictures were taken at the same time as the Randell Pond pictures were taken. In fact they were taken in the parking lot across from the Randall Pond Trail Head. I walked over to take a close up of the thistle itself and was greeted with a multitude of flying butterflies, bees and other insects.

The ocean has always been a favorite place for me. I guess because in it’s beauty I see a paradox. Strength and peacefulness in one body. The strength of the ocean was very apparent when I went to visit the Smith Point State Park during a wind advisory.
After walking through the tunnel from the parking lot to the ‘beach’, I stood on the dunes to take the pictures. The sea was so rough there was no beach to speak of.
