3 Newly planted herb-box
4 Red Hot Chili Peppers!
5 Red and white Onions drying out in the yard
6 Tree-trunk planter with more Portulaca - it's a succulent and very resistent to the sun
7 Old postbox in a corner
8 Maize -a single plant growing sponateously outside the workshop
9 Junk in a corner
10 More dusty stuff!
We have Portulaca here in Canada too. Nice bright colours, and quite resistant to heat and drought. The dusty glass bottles were for making wine, I believe. I love the shot of the corn stalk against the old wall, and the spider you caught just to the right of the old mailbox. Great shots - I feel transported!
