When the weather outside is nasty, stay inside.

I used my old Yashinon DX 50mm 1.7 lens for these image.

1. I love them!

What are the first two?

3. Burro Tail/Donkey Tail. Slow growing, but worth the wait.

2. The top two pictures: are they the succulent donkey tails? Sure look like them...

And the decaying roses are amazing in their detail!

Great bunch of photos, alfredo!

4. Thank you. This lens needed to be put to use again.

It would make a fine portrait lens with a big 1.7 aperture and an effective 100mm, it would be perfect.

It is Donkey Tails. We bought one right after we saw one in an Emmy Lou Harris poster. I think it came with the "Rose of Cimarron" album.

5. Beautiful Roses

to me they look like they're made of rusted iron. And I've always wanted a plant like that, and in spite of a moderately green thumb, they have not worked well for me.
Probably kept them too wet.

8. Roses seem to like cooler climes. With any succulent, overwatering

is the big killer. My Jade trees get watered once a month, and only get fed from May to Oct.

6. The first two look like butter cream frosting & the last one looks like paper maché.

Very nice.

9. Anything looks like food to me when I'm hungry.

Thanks.

10. Beautiful pics......

But when the weather outside is nasty, I'm in for a hike.

Love having the bitter wind blowing on my face

but I'm a Michigan man, what else can I say?

[alfredo]

12. I worked at Michigan Bell up in Pontiac Michigan. I know cold.

After that I carried mail in Kentucky. I know how to handle the cold.

I'm retired so I stay in when the weather sucks.

11. oh my gosh these are great!

Seriously love them Alfredo. Big kudos to you! All for staying inside, LOL.

13. Thank you.

I'm slowly learning how to use Black and White.
