The first and second look like what we call 'houseleeks' - my grandmother used to have them growing on a low roof. The last is a very dramatic shot! You can really see that the cactus is a swollen stem, and the 'spines' are adapted from leaves!

I got some succulents from IcyBc the last time I went to see her in MI. So hopefully they will survive this winter. They are still tiny.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
