Witch's hair
I know you all were hoping to see a naked person from Black's Beach, but here is another type of native species. This is a plant known as witch's hair or devil's thread (official name is cuscuta or dodder) It is a leafless parasitic plant that grows along the trail. P.S.: I didn't see anyone in the nude! And like Denton hinted, I think I would have felt too voyeuristic to take photos at this beach.

I had to look at this photograph after seeing it in the portal. What an extraordinary plant.
And looking back - how did I miss your Mail Box the other day? Same style of mailbox as in Minneapolis(I think?) and there I was thinking it was a Minneapolis only mailbox.

Looks interesting. I was born and raised in Southern California and have never heard of witches hair. I guess i can learn something everyday.
Looks like reddish-brown orangutans hair. But, if you didn't see anyone... is a witch hair...indeed
thats funny - i was just at a nude beach yesterday -well, actually walked by it but did not have any interest in photographing - as for your botanical knowledge, its very impressive =D
