There are so many different types of proteas that I have long given up trying to identify all of them. According to one reference source, however, this lovely protea resembles a variety called red gem. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know. I came across this pretty little protea during my visit to the Agricultural Research Station. The photo was taken in March 2017, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
For those interested in photographing proteas on Maui, one of the best places on the island is the Agricultural Research Station, which cultivates acres of many different types of proteas. Indeed, there are so many different varieties that I find it difficult to identify some of them. I believe that the one above is called red gem. The photo was taken in February 2018, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.

stuck at home I cleared out my wardrobe and found my garnet ring I haven't worn in years. Tried to photograph it but it just dissolved into flashes of light. I've started wearing it again but remember why I stopped - it tends to catch on things.

This card is an 8X8 card with the image of The Snowman giving the boy a hug. I have used the very effective twisted pyrimage. I matted and layered this iamge on to a starry night sky and broken up with red and green card. I have also embellished the cards with red and clear gems and with the simple sentiment of Happy Christams. This card is priced at £3.75 with free postage within the UK and can be found on the Mamma's Heart page with lots of other cards and gifts at Etsy.com
