I don’t really know any of the names of these beauties, because a friend passed these on to me, and she got them from a friend. That’s how my mother and her mother gardened. I love those kind of neighborly traditions. Sure beats the new tradition of shopping on Thanksgiving.
Photo Notes: Singing “On the First Day of December…” while snapping pictures with my iPhone 4s yesterday. Edited with Phototoaster. Do you have a favorite?
For Lens and Pens Photo Challenge Nature. She has some beautiful photos with wise thoughts on nature in crisis.Worth taking a look. Happy Monday.
Light Words 
Great choice of subject and well done–succulents always remind me of the desert and its raw power. I like the “Teddy Bear” best, because the close up shows its character better. Happy Phoneography Monday.

Thanks fort the feedback the Teddybears is the least edited, good photo 101 lesson. I use to consider myself a desert rat for all the time I spent there. Need to get back, soon. Happy Monday.

Teddy seems to popular today. He was hiding I had to stand on my head to get the pic. Glad I did. Happy Dec. 🙂

Fabulous photos! Cacti and succulents are so dramatic. I used to have over 300 in various arrangements until I had my son (now 16) so had to remove them due to all the prickles. 😀
