The artist Daniel Stern is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the Marvel Urchins as one of the bumbling burglars in the first two title of the Home Alone series. 

Sea Lavender Del Mar Overlook

Sea Lavender, also know as marsh rosemary and lavender thrift, is a perennial coastal plant that can be often found  growing in both salt marshes and along coastal sand dunes. Despite its name, it is not actually related to the lavender plant. The plant creates leathery, spoon-shaped leaves, red-tinted stems, and delicate purple blooms that appear in summer. These plants are easily recognizable as a result of their dense, cloud-like spreads of tiny, paper-like lavender flowers.
