Maybe it’s from all the time I have spent in the Southwest, but I love succulents. I love their symmetry and the tones in the plants. I love that they are hearty plants for the most part (i.e. difficult to kill). They are survivors, and they are beautiful. I love to photograh them too, digitally (as above) or on film (below). They always make for beautiful, patient subjects.

It’s been really rainy here in South Texas this winter. Many days are dreary and gray and I haven’t gotten out much on photo walks. But spring is coming for all of us, and hopefully with it the opportunity to get outside a bit more!
The Serenity Project is a monthly collaborative photography project. Participating photographers wish to bring a sense of peace, calm and serenity to their images. Please continue to my friend Iris Nelson Photography – Metro Phoenix Photographer to see what brought her some serenity this month. I always enjoy her posts!
I have a new appreciation for succulents. These images are so gorgeous, you’ve inspired me to photograph mine! Beautiful, thoughtful work.

Love ‘after the rain’ images but empathise re: the long wet winter. Hopefully spring is early and brings lots of sunshine and opportunities for photography walks. Beautiful work as always Eileen.

I too love succulents, they have such great textures. Beautiful composition. I think it is cool that you are still photographing film.

Thanks, Iris! I don’t shoot as much film as digital, but I go through periods when I really enjoy shooting film.
