Photo: Spreads of thick leaved plant life cluster on a rock face. Sturdy pink stalks rise from those clusters with similar thick leaves situated more individually. Baseball-sized clusters of these leaves crown the stalk tops. Their spot on their rock perch is a craggy gray mixed with white patches and brightly lit by the late morning sun, but most of this rock formation is shaded and nearly black. Similar oodles poke about at the edges of the frame. If I've got this right (which is possible, if not probable) this is an oodle of Dudleya greenei, which is (according to the WikiOfPedia:) "a perennial species of succulent plant known by the common name Greene's liveforever, or Greene's dudleya" (not making this up). But (cautionary note) LaWiki also says Greene's dudleya "is endemic to the Channel Islands of California, where it grows along the cliffs of four of the eight islands;" and this isn't there. In fact, it's nearly 800 miles north of there. So I could be totally wrong. This might, to the contrary, be some whole 'nuther Dudleya. Maybe a Dudleya Doright. But I think those are mostly confined to Canada … and cartoons. And the typically wear hats. So, Triffids? But most definitely 'tis an oodle of something … or other near Meyer's Creek at Gold Beach, Oregon D5600: ƒ/6.3, 1/500, 300mm, ISO280
