Desert Rose

Days are too short.   Fabulous Fridays are even shorter; I’ll be very lucky even to make one photograph today.  I woke up hoping to shoot, but it was raining!  I felt frustrated, which I think many can relate to when plans don't go as hoped.

Just in time, I dashed outside to photograph a succulent with a few remaining drops. I used my 100mm Macro lens and my quirky Manfrotto tripod with squeaky, stiff legs. It's a love-hate relationship,  and honestly, a new tripod is my top Christmas wish this year.

I’m not happy with the results, but they’ll have to do as time has run out.
