You saw these earlier before the buds burst open.  Beautiful then, beautiful now.

Time was when I would have cropped this picture, but given permission by Cee’s “rule of 2/3,” I have left the wall above––mainly because I’m intrigued by the quality of light and shadow there. I love the contrast to the very busy  crown of thorns and succulent in the foreground.  I always know what I like but don’t always know why.  Thanks, Cee, for giving a name to this one!!

Oh well, close enough! I’ve never seen a pencil plant succulent change color like this.  Beautiful!

IMG_2501I don’t know why out of the dozens of pictures I took of more exotic flowers that I decided to post this little succulent bloom.  It was tiny–Much magnified here.
