Hibiscus

22 Steps Challenge - Day 1. For our FB theme this week @alinz has asked us to find a spot and take a photo of anything we like from that spot. On Day 2 we have to take 22 steps from that spot and take a photo from the new spot we reach. On Day 3 we go back to Day 2's spot and take another 22 steps, take a photo, etc. for 7 days. The idea is to get us to look around and try to see familiar surroundings in a new way. I'm intrigued to find out what I'll see during this week.

I started on my drive by taking this photo of my hibiscus. It took a real hammering from the frost last winter and I had to cut it back really hard. At one point I thought it was dead but luckily it has revived and just started to flower - it has about two flowers on it instead of being smothered like it was at this time last year. I'll be extra careful with it next winter to make sure it's properly covered up when frost is forecast.
A really interesting idea for FB, making you appreciate your surroundings. A lovely shot to get you started.
