I'm back from San Diego. I spent my birthday week with my daughter and son-in-law and it was just what the doctor ordered. Well maybe not "just" what he ordered. I think he ordered more time there. But for now it will have to do.

I have planted quite a few succulents in pots, hardy little plants, seeing that we have had water meters installed, I decided that a few water wise plants will do the thing.

Arcadia, California

It's like patting a cat, about that same texture and it has those cute brown circles edging the leaves. It grows happily in a pot in my back yard.

Kalanchoe Tomentosa or Panda Plant, Donkey Ears

(the little green leaves are on the other succulent in the pot.)

I have a new toy! I thought it was about time I upgraded from my point & shoot got a real DSLR camera. I'm having so much fun with it.

Cropped a little, contrast slightly enhanced. It was a very sunny day so darked it up just a wee bit as well.

Our Daily Challenge ... fill the frame

I started collecting succulents after buying a jelly bean plant for my Nana. A couple of the leaves fell off the plant and started putting down roots, I was soon hooked.

I've been given many plants and found some on road sides and some bought some at markets. I love how they procreate themselves so readily. I'm slowly learning the names of them which is good fun.
