Recent rains trigger deciduous trees, mustard brightens grassy slopes along the coast
12 hours of both daylight and night
Sycamores on the left of the 163
Recent rain and bright sunshine during the last few weeks have triggered the emergence of bright green leaves on sycamore, liquidambar, and other decorative deciduous trees around San Diego. Cruise down 163 through Balboa Park to appreciate the vernal splendor of the sycamores growing in the landscaped center divider. Or walk across the El Prado bridge and look down upon the same.
Mustard is in the Brassica family, along with broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
Mustard, a non-native plant that is more like a weed than a wildflower, is nevertheless blooming profusely on grassy slopes all along the coastline of San Diego County. On certain hillsides with moist ground, mustard plants may reach ten or more feet in height. An old story, probably apocryphal, tells of the early padres scattering mustard seed along the El Camino Real so that the bright yellow mustard blossoms would help missionaries find their way in future spring seasons. A more likely account: the plant was introduced to western North America in the form of seeds carried in the hay used to feed livestock brought in by the early settlers.
Twice a year, the sunset lines up perfectly with the water channel at the Salk Institute in La Jolla: on the Fall Equinox and the Summer Equinox.
The Vernal Equinox on Wednesday, March 20 heralds the beginning of the spring season for Earth’s northern hemisphere. At the instant of vernal equinox, the sun lies in the plane of Earth’s equator. As a result, days and nights are of equal length (12 hours each) everywhere on our planet. Another consequence is that the sun rises due east along the horizon and sets due west. During the next three months, as the sun will shine more and more directly on our hemisphere, daylight hours will lengthen, and the rising and setting positions of the sun will gradually shift toward the northeast and northwest, respectively.
