También llamada Hindú Rope, tiene las hojas retorcidas como arrugadas, y cuelgan como grandes trenzas compactas y pesadas...de alllí el nombre. las flores son pequeñas pero forman una perfecta pelotita de ping pong! Las flores son tres milímetros menores que la carnosa común .
Fue publicda en "The Hoyan" en 1990.
Lamentablemente, luego de diez años, la he perdido este invierno. Ahora, me ha quedado un esqueje y a comenzar otra vez .
La fotografía la ha tomado mi hijo que ya tiene su planta bastante grandecita , es hija de la que he perdido!

For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!
To conclude this short series of old Sydney photos, we'll take a look at the restaurant world.
Mr Wong's Cantonese Restaurant is a huge place, with dining facilities on multiple levels. It is designed to reflect two eras in a converted inner city warehouse: Shanghai prior of the invasion of the Japanese and the rise of Communists; and Prohibition era USA. You'll see some photos from the Prohibition Bar, accessible from Mr Wong's via a secret doorway (of course), in my uploaded collage today. merivale.com/venues/mrwong/
We were there for lunch and the food was as spectacular as the setting.
All these photographs today were taken with the natural lighting and handheld by the Panasonic DMC-FS7 compact camera. If you get a chance to purchase one of these lovely little 10MP pocket cameras, in good secondhand condition, I can tell you it will serve you well.
Amazing how the big the wings of the brown Pelican can fold down into a very compact flying torpedo. The brown pelican can dive head first into water to catch a meal. And seagulls often try to steal their catch out. I hope to catch the seagull getting away with the theft on camera soon.
Made it back! Hello my friends : )
Little story behind this one...
One morning (while on holiday in the Greek island of Crete) I decided to wake very early in hopes of capturing some interesting morning shots.
After shooting a few pre-dawn beach photos, I walked towards an interesting rock-pier, but had to cross some hotel grounds to access it.
When walking past this pool, I glanced back and saw this mirrored reflection of the hotel in the water!
I desperately wanted to capture the moment (but didn't want to spend more than a minute here as I was trying to hurry and reach the rock-pier before sunrise) so I simply laid my camera down upon the edge of the pool and took 2 shots... and this was one of them : )
I was so surprised that this quick shot turned out at all, as it was taken during pre-dawn light and I didn't have time to make fine adjustments before moving on.
The blues you see in the sky (directly over the hotel) quickly changed (by the minute!) after this shot. The glow from the coming sunrise quickly affected it as I walked on towards the pier.
The blueness of the pool water also caught my attention... I think the reflection is very special near the pool ladder & lamp lights : )
This area was beautiful... so of course the title ( Vacation Blues ) has two meanings ; )
This is SOOC (straight out of camera), no cropping or color adjustments either.
That doesn't make it any more special, I simply tried to leave it the way I remembered it that early morning... very soft predawn blues with subtle hints in the sky of the coming glow : )
I thought it turned out pretty well, considering I was in such a hurry to carry on and make it to the next location.
(note: Taken with my Sony HX90V compact)
Thanks guys for taking a moment to have a look
...thought it was time to add more 'blues' to my photostream!
Hope you find something interesting or enjoyable here : )
Truly appreciate your support... wishing you a wonderful day ahead my friends!!!
p.s. Glad to be back!
I will slowly try to catch up with everyone during the coming days...

CRUSH
There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.
