This week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge theme is earth. At first, I thought I’d skip this photo challenge theme because I couldn’t think of any photos to use. Then I read Cee’s description of earth and I figured, hey I could do that! Earth: Clay, Rock, Dust, Sand, Mud, Crystal, Powder, Shadow, Space, Darkness, Gravity, Bone, Silicon.
Below is my personal take of this theme. Remember you can click on any photo to view a larger image.
Southern California is covered with dirt and rocks, not much green overall. Cactus, succulents and short bushes like California Sage Brush are what grow best here.
I enjoy painted rocks and these rocks from the San Diego Botanic Garden are a cute and subtle way to ask people to stay away.
Of course San Diego is not all dirt and rocks. It also features beautiful beaches, my favorite being Coronado Beach. It is always listed as one of the Top 10 beaches in the U.S. and it deserves it.
My last photo is from Idyllwild, California. I call it the face in the rock, and it’s pretty obvious why. This is as if Earth was watching us as we walk by.

Those succulents are so pretty.
Thank you! I love their multiple colors and I took several photos of them, some up close. Hopefully I’ll get to include them in an upcoming post.

These photos are great for this week’s earth topic. I love the face in the rock. Wonderful entry!
Thank you! I wonder how many people have walked by that face in the rock without ever noticing it…
I love the rock as well. Pure enchantment.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
Those are great earth photos! I love the first one. It makes me think of underwater plants.
Aren’t they pretty and colorful? I’ve got several photos of them I need to go through, including some close-ups. I hope to put a post together with them soon so you can have a closer look.
