Succulent indeed

I have to gloat a bit.
I've got a new camera, I've got a new camera...Nah,nah,na,nah,na.


This last weekend I had the perfect opportunity to test it out as we we're invited to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve just outside Montagu. Typical Little Karoo in climate and veld, it boasts lions, elephants and rhinos to name but a few. The Lodges have been surrounded by rockeries and succulents and once again the variety of our indiginous species is amazing. I don't know the names of them all but I had a closer look through my lens. They roar and prance in their own quite way. Enjoy.

Heloise, Hello,

There is nothing quiet about these photos - they scream form, function, color, and beauty. Congrats on the new camera - great quality in your shots.

Here in the Eastern US, we are sodden in unstopping rain, not unusual for this time of year. We want to "get at it" in the garden but must wait a few more weeks.

Please continue to keep us posted about your corner of the world.
