-
- This plant seems to want to be 2D.
-
- A dragonfly resting on a reed.
-
- A cluster of lily pads hides two secrets! Little turtles!
-
- One of them swims off and the other follows suit.
-
- I wonder if their necks get tired like that.
-
- A wasp takes a rest by my feet.
-
- I was really hoping to see a frog…
-
- This turtle was working on its tan.
-
- I figured a flower petal wouldn’t scare the koi as much, and was pretty much able to touch it with my ploy.
-
- I think it’s fascinating how large and tall lotus flowers are.
-
- Don’t step here! It’s a pond underneath! Check out the turtle poking out. 🙂
-
- That bird is up really high on this cactus tree thing.
-
- I love the wings! A bit of flash as they open up, then they retract and it goes away.
-
- Some of these desert plants grow really tall!
-
- I wonder if they get water up to the top the way the sequoias do.
-
- These cacti decided it wasn’t worth it to fight gravity.
-
- This is a pretty cool cactus. Looks like someone designed it with layers.
-
- This pretty much looks like a tree.
-
- They stand up so straight! They kind of look like fingers.
-
- Perhaps these flowers grow larger because they are closer to the ground and get more nutrients and water?
-
- They can grow pretty elaborately. It reminds me a type of coniferous tree, but I can’t remember what.
-
- These things grow almost as tall as palm trees!
-
- Cousin It in old age.
-
- This is one happy cactus!
-
- It looks rather like a snow globe. So perfectly round!
-
- This is quite the menacing cactus.
-
- So geometric… these would work as a great fence.
