Two stapelias on my windowsill. They are both blooming at my home now :)
Stapelia is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa with a few from other parts of Africa. Plants grow from 5 to 30 cm high, producing numerous shoots and forming clusters. Most Stapelia flowers are visibly hairy and generate the odor of rotten flesh when they bloom. Such odours serve to attract various specialist pollinators including, in the case of carrion-scented blooms, blow flies of the dipteran family Calliphoridae. They grow in well-drained soils in dry, usually rocky areas, between rocks and under bushes. A handful of species are commonly cultivated as pot plants and are even used as rockery plants in countries where the climate permits.

Moje domowe stapelie. Obie kwitną teraz na moim parapecie :)
Stapelia – rodzaj roślin należący do rodziny toinowatych, liczący około 39 gatunków pochodzących z południowej Afryki. Rośliny o wysokości od 5 do 30 cm, wytwarzające liczne pędy i tworzące skupiny. Roślina tworzy na młodych pędach, od jednego do dziesięciu pięciokrotnych, gwiazdokształtnych lub rzadziej dzwonkowatych, obupłciowych kwiatów, w odcieniach brązu, czerwieni, żółci lub fioletu. Kwiaty zapylane są przez muchówki w większości i wydzielają zapach podobny do zepsutego mięsa. Rosną na dobrze przepuszczalnych glebach na obszarach suchych, zazwyczaj kamienistych, między skałami i pod krzewami. Kilka gatunków jest powszechnie uprawianych jako rośliny doniczkowe, a nawet jako rośliny do ogródków skalnych w krajach, w których pozwala na to klimat.

The first sunny day for what seems to be an age. Unfortunately it coincided with the return to work, so my image came from home before heading to work.
This is my home in Sundernagar, Himachal Pradesh.
The color of the doors and windows keep changing he he

Home-made vegetarian pizzas, shaped like golf hazards, made by Sandy for my birthday. I'm not a golfer, but we thought those shapes made for small-enough pizzas that would fill a 15-inch pizza stone and yet still permit you to lift them up and eat them without having to cut them (which normally ends up with the infamous sagging pizza points that are hard to hold).
Ingredients: bread flour with flax seeds, yeast, virgin olive oil, tomato sauce, sliced white mushrooms, steamed asparagus, green peppers, thyme, mozzarella. The Habanero hot pepper just for decoration. The wines were a good Cabernet-Sauvignon from Chile for only $10, and a Centamura Chianti, the only Chianti at the Quebec Liqueur Control Board for $15 (most of the others are around $25). The pizza was delicious.
For desert, Sandy baked an applesauce-banana-raisin cake (with plain yogurt also in the dough). But NO SUGAR. And still it was delicious.

Just returned home from another two weeks away at work. Had a new lens waiting for me to slap on the front of my camera. So naturally I wanted to take a photo of something. It just so happens that I was provided with an amazing sky that evening.
Very simple shot just out the front of the house, over looking some young steers and heifers grazing and jumping around. Backdropped by the most amazing sky.
You build your castle in just the right location with all the comforts of home sweet home !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
