(030/365) Happy Sliders Sunday! Processed with Topaz Studio 2 - best viewed Large.

A few years ago my Dad gave me a piece of driftwood which was home to several air plants (Tillandsias) that he'd glued to it. One or 2 have flowered - see photo in first comment below, and we like them so much we bought a new piece of driftwood recently, along with a new species of air plant to stick on it. A small piece of plant broke off the original crowded structure so we've glued that on the new driftwood as well. Both are starting to flower. They are all quite happy on our porch windowsill with not too much direct sunlight.

Such fascinating plants, getting all their nutrients from the air. I feed them occasionally with a specially formulated Air Plant spray & mist them monthly with rainwater I collect (they also appreciate going outside in the rain on a warm day).

07/100x : my 100 photos will be of foliage.

I can't for the life of me keep an orchid alive.

I've had three or four but they never survive.

I may try once more in hopes to achieve,

the most beautiful flower I've ever perceived.

Thanks to some of you that have checked in with me. It is nice to be missed. Still getting injections in my back...last time it did not work. I am due to have another in two weeks....hopefully I will get relief.

My thanks on line tutor Matt Kloskowski for the lesson on creating one's own textures.

What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.
