My Hubs took that photo. :) It's actually an ocotillo, which is a desert plant. You can see it from another angle in the third photo of this post. There's also a good photo of one in bloom on wikipedia.
I'm back to say you've been the only person who picked up on all three elements in juxtaposition...the ne building, the old building and the tree: new vs old...and man made vs nature. Most only noticed the buildings. I wish I had a prize to give you :-)
ocotillo? That's the word I couldn't think of I wanted to ask if it was one of those plants. Thanx for providing the name so I don't lose sleep over it. :) Cuz I would, you know?
June: That's very cool! Thanks for coming back. :) (Thought I replied here yesterday, but now I don't see my comment. Hmmm...)
Allison: Actually both of us like to take photos, so we kind of hand the camera back and forth. I figure the nature stuff is fine as long as we remember to take pics of people as well.
Lisa's chaos: Glad I could help you not lose sleep. :)
I think I may be the only "mommy blogger" who's not actually a mommy. But what better time to start learning about kids than before you have them, right? So The Little Stuff of Life (LSL) is about me researching different baby products, thinking through parenting styles, learning about children from others.
I'm far from having it all figured out, so feel free to comment on your experience, advice and opinions - whether you have kids or not. You are welcome to disagree with me or sources I reference, but please be respectful of others' opinions.
Besides researching for the future, LSL is about things I'm doing now, which I like to call "pre-pre-baby stuff." (To me, "pre-baby" = prenatal = you're expecting. We're not even to that point yet, hence "pre-pre-baby.") My husband (who I affectionately refer to here as "the Hubs") and I like to read, travel, cook, and spend time with our families. We've been on the lookout for ways to be less wasteful and kinder to our environment. I also run my own business (see boldavenue.com), so sometimes I'll give an update on that or post gift ideas.
Thanks for being part of The Little Stuff of Life!
Love the greens! Happy WW!

Very nice capture. It really makes you look twice. Had it not been captured in that manner, I probably wouldn't have looked twice.
ReplyDeleteABW: I could see fingers. Or maybe giant octopus tentacles reaching down into the sea-?
ReplyDeleteCarrie: It's green in Arizona. Beautiful winter days like that remind us why we suffer through the summers. :)

ReplyDeleteSomeone else whose husband likes to take pictures of nature :-) I've got memory cards full of pictures of flowers, etc!
