Along the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay and adjacent salt water areas, one meets the hardy Hairy Gumweed (Grindelia cuneifolia). All yellow flowers are there to be loved, no matter how ignoble their names, how sticky their buds, or how prickly their foliage -- and especially to be loved are things that bloom in winter. This one is in northern Contra Costa County, at the Martinez Regional Shoreline park. The picture is from a few hours ago, the afternoon of 9 December 2012.
