Lo and Behold

It is fascinating to see such cute flowers growing out of the cactus plant!
But I just don't understand why some people would vandalize anything even the cactus plant.
See how the writings have somehow deformed the beauty!



Such pretty sight of this cute little flower!
Beauty among the thorns!

    I have lots of cactus plants at home and I love the cactus flowers. Actually there are many types of cactus flowers which only last for about 2-3 days.

    I think it's kind of neat they way they wrote on the plants. But, I would only do it to my own plants and not anyone elses.

    I thought it is not that easy for the flowers to bloom on cactus. A beautiful shot you have.

    I saw a tree once where the leaves had this kind of writing on them. I thought how sad to do such a thing so I can understand your feelings. I looked past the writing and saw the beautiful cactus in your lovely photos. Thanks so much for sharing them.

    It is unfortunate that some people have no respect for living things or other's property.
    The cactus flower is such a pretty pink that goes so well with the blue-grey cactus.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
