Cacti are thorny plants that grow in dry and arid areas because they have the capacity to store water inside. They are very resistant and love sunlight.
In the many visits I made to the cactus area in the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro I was surprised by the delicacy of the flowers in contrast to the plant.
Here I present two species with flowers of very delicate texture and beautiful colors.
Echinocereus cinerascens with flower in lovely mauve color, and 12cm in diameter.

I was so happy to find this little pelargonium still flowering in a sheltered corner of the garden :) We've been away for a few days enjoying the winter sunshine but I look forward to catching up with everyone now we're home :)
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images. They are very much appreciated.

Alone you wait
For rains that never come
They praise your strength
And marvel at the way you thrive
But no one ever thinks to ask
Hey, are you okay?
They never see the days
You bend until you nearly break
Or plummet down in free-fall
With no safety net beneath
Your solitary soul is all
On which you can depend
Yet you carry on and search within
Brave the dark til sunrise comes
Then they return to say
‘How beautiful and strong’
Juegan los niños arropados por el ocaso llamado ewarumaná que en su lengua significa ; “oscurece el mundo”. Poética frase que muta entre sombras al retorno de waröpö (la noche) y la resiliencia se mezcla con la incertidumbre…F.O.G.
The children play wrapped in the sunset called ewarumaná which in their language means; “darkens the world”. Poetic phrase that mutates between shadows at the return of waröpö (night) and resilience mixes with uncertainty...F.O.G.
This little Michigan Lily grows with a few friends in the ditch alongside of our road. Years ago they grew in abundance along the roads in our area, but once the county began mowing along the road right of way, the lilies disappeared. You can imagine my delight a few years ago when I saw them making a comeback in the ditches where the mowers can't reach.
It is more vivid in LARGE!

I can't think of the perfect title for this. Suggestions?
I got to spend a few days in Yellowstone this winter and got a lot of bison images. I always tell myself, anyone can get a bison picture, but it's harder to get a good bison picture. So I try to work harder at it.
SHIMMER EYES CIX 💜💜💜
La resilienza appartiene a chi traccia strade dove c’erano ostacoli, a chi camuffa una caduta con un magnifico volo, a chi sa che qualcosa sta nascendo, proprio lì, sotto quel sasso arido e sterile che tutti ignorano.
Fabrizio Caramagna
Resilience belongs to those who trace roads where there were obstacles, to those who disguise a fall with a magnificent flight, to those who know that something is being born, right there, under that arid and sterile stone that everyone ignores.
Fabrizio Caramagna
"A shimmer of sky falls to the water, its wings soaked but firm. The blue butterfly clings to life like twilight clings to the day's last breath." -Millie Cruz©
-A big and striking butterfly, the Large Striped Swordtail inhabits moist savannas and coastal forests and in South Africa can be seen through most of Limpopo, low-lying parts of Mpumalanga and most of Kwazulu-Natal. Adults of both sexes, on the wing from spring to autumn and boasting a wingspan of around 7cm, can often be seen visiting flowers but the males – as depicted in some of the images below – are especially fond of muddy puddles as well and will often congregate there in large numbers. These butterflies are very strong fliers.- Source: dewetswild.com/

I got leon's flu so I will be off for a bit.
I know things could be worse.
was hiking through a narrow slot canyon when I came upon a tree growing in the deep sand. What a surprise! Beautifully framed by the towering rocks, it seemed to belong there even though the growing conditions are harsh.

Lots of shit going on IRL, it’s nice to bounce in and take a random snapshot in SL and focus my brain power on something other than work.
Even with a hunk of a wing missing, this beautiful monarch managed to fly around beautifully. A real testament to a butterfly's resilience.
Thank you for your views and comments, always appreciated! Have a wonderful day and weekend!
Standing before the Melbourne Town Hall, this iconic Christmas tree—crafted from hundreds of red bells—symbolises the city’s shared spirit, resilience, and celebration of community. It marks a seasonal gathering point where tradition meets modern urban life. Captured as a handheld shot, the slight motion and ambient blur reflect Melbourne’s constant energy, contrasting the stillness of the tree with the movement of trams and people, reinforcing its role as a calm, festive anchor in the city’s ever-moving heart.
In the heavy rain he stands tall
Alone but never truly alone
Is it defiance?
No...it is strength and resilience
You have to see it with your heart...not only with your sight
i have a long swath of garden bed that’s all coneflower, which has bloomed for months. each time i think it’s done, another bloom appears, reaching toward the light. these new blooms—the whole garden bed—teaches me about resilience, hope, beauty, imperfection, and grace.
to the victims and their families of the montecito CA mudslides.
we send you our sorrow and our love.
and the resilience of our winter flowers....the white tree dahlia and a small primrose.
