This is a pine tree. If you're wondering about the title, my grandfather used to call that part on the left candlesticks. :)
I love the lines, composition and light. It looks tropical to me. As soon as I took it, I was in love. Only problem is, I'm bummed because when you look at it up close, the "candlestick" is not totally in focus. Too bad, I like it anyway! :)
Bella, I coundn't live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don't know how it's tortured me...the thought of you, still, white, cold...to never see you blush scarlet again, to never see that flash of intuition in your eyes when you see through my pretenses...it would be unendurable...you are the most important thing to me now, the most important thing to me ever.

Upper Antelope Canyon Navajo Tribal Park, Page, Arizona. The best time to see light on the canyon floor is near noon and in summer when photographers capture the iconic rays of light in the canyon. Here there's only light on the floor near the entrance in early April, around 4:00 pm, but pretty good light throughout.
Our next stop: from Page/Antelope to Monument Valley takes about 2 hours. Highway 98 to 160 to 163.
God who keeps our fire burning,
burning through the darkest night
see the hope in our hearts,
the faith in our eyes

Candlestick Plant
Latin: Senna alata
The nursery industry has a passion for short, compact plants. For a grower, it is a smart economic move because more plants can be grown in less space, small plants are easier to handle and they are more efficient to ship. However, these small plants even when well grown just look, well – like runts. I like big and bold, things like the candlestick plant (Senna alata or alternately Cassia alata).
Candlestick plant goes by many common names such as Christmas candle, ringworm shrub or candle bush. It is a member of the legume family and probably originated in Central America but has been so long grown as an ornamental that its exact origins are uncertain. It is a fast growing tropical shrub or small tree capable of reaching 25 feet in height in a frost-free climate, but typically is seen as a 10- to 15-foot tall rounded shrub in gardens.
It has large compound leaves up to 16 inches long with oval, 3-inch long leaflets arranged neatly down the rachis. At night, the leaves fold up. Yellow, erect flower clusters appear at the ends of branches in an open cluster, frequently in groups of five to seven. Blooms begin appearing as soon as the plant makes some growth and continue until night temperatures begin cooling off. Individual flowers open from the base of the truss and are about the size and shape of popcorn while the buds above are still in tight form, giving the
nflorescence the general appearance of a lighted candle.
Candlestick plant is as well known by its original Linnaean name of Cassia alata as its more recent name, “Senna.” It has long been cultivated throughout the world and is now considered a weed in many tropical climates -- though it is not banned in any of our more southerly states. It is hardy in zones 10 and 11 (though it often freezes to the ground in even these areas) and may reseed in areas with a long growing season, though I have never seen it do so in the zone 6 gardens I have tended.
Legumes in the Senna genus are a major food source for the caterpillars of the yellow sulfur butterflies. But candlestick plant has developed a defense mechanism against the grazing attack of the caterpillars by enlisting the assistance of ants. Usually nectary glands are located in flowers to attract pollinators, but candlestick plant has nectary glands near the base of the leaves to attract ant armies. While the ants love the sweet honey water, they also need some protein so they sweep the leaves clean of any butterfly eggs as soon as they are laid.
Candlestick plant is a tough, drought-tolerant plant that grows best in any well-drained sunny site. It has a bold, clean look and makes a good plant for massing or for use as tall background plant in the flower border. They give a tropical look to a landscape especially when combined with other lush looking tropical plants such as castor bean and banana plants. If used in a container, make sure it is a big one. Candlestick plant needs it hot so do not plant them until the soil has warmed to at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Propagation is easy by seed started in a warm, sunny location.

Every Sunday is Sunset Sunday on my Photostream. I invite you to join in on the fun and post your own sunset (or sunrise) on Sunday and then share it with us here. Sunset Sundays are the only days I invite you to share your own photo in your comments here. Please keep it to only one and one that you've posted this Sunset Sunday.
Now let's get out there and get some beautiful sunset/sunrise shots and share them every Sunday.
Candlestick Point SRA was the first California State Park unit developed to bring state park values into the urban setting. From historic wetlands to landfill to landscaped park, Candlestick Point demonstrates major land use changes of the San Francisco Bay. Its name is derived from 19th century locals who thought the burning of nearby abandoned sailing ships and their flaming masts in the bay resembled lighted candlesticks.
