    They are very beautiful, as usual. There are still others which unfold like flower petals. Happy Holidays and may your Christmas be merry and blessed. We don't have winter, and i don't know if it's a blessing or otherwise!

    well, our "winter" is better than the summer in some climates, so we count ourselves pretty lucky. Happy Holidays to you, Andrea!

    Those are great shots...I should post a couple of my agaves with some slushy snow on them...those patterns great this way, too! May the rest of our winters be a mix of more wet but warmer!!

    Absolutely amazing, great close ups. Nature is pretty incredible if only we take the time to notice.
