A Little One by myautofocuslife

A Little One

One of the cooled conservatories, the Flower Dome, has a big collection of succulents. And I like succulents, so I took a whole lot of photos of different kinds! This is a shot of a little one. (It's little, but looks better when you view the large version.) 8D

I needed to add something green because I'd just realized that I have had no green in my calendar view for the past 7 days! XD

Ecchevaria? Beautiful sculpted shape with great contrast - the red edge really makes the green pop - Lovely dof and pov.

Wow, Livia, this is lovely. I love the detail of the red edge.
August 17th, 2012  
@kittikat It wasn't labelled, so I'm not sure exactly what kind of succulent it is. XD But it's pretty, so I shot it. 8)
August 17th, 2012  
Yay! The green is back. :D
Love the repeating shapes in this. Nice shot.

So beautiful. I love succulents and have a garden full of them! I think what you have here is one of the aeonium family.

August 17th, 2012  
pretty! It looks alot like a plant we have here which we call "Hens and Chicks" Maybe it's a slang term, I don't know, or even if it's the same thing.
August 17th, 2012  
Great POV!
August 17th, 2012

Great focus on this, it looks SURPRISED!!! I was 'into' succulents last week and they are quite interesting photographic subjects.
August 19th, 2012  
A great, big, from-the-top, loud and clear and green "THANK YOU!" to all! I'm always happy to get some green into my album. I'm going to mix it up for August but I get the feeling next month's calendar will be a sea of green. Again, thank you so much for your constant support, I appreciate your time and encouraging words.
August 19th, 2012  
WHat? No green?? Couldn't be! Nice shot

Lovely shot, great DoF and fantastic colour. Well done.

We call them "Hens and Chicks" which is obviously not their official name. Some call them Cat and Kittens and I've also heard Goose and Goslings. I have a whole bunch in pots on my deck. I love photographing them!
August 24th, 2012  
Beautiful.
August 27th, 2012  
Aeonium! I've got one in my garden. Shall take picture of it.
