Today's morning walk was preceded by a fairly long drive to the far eastern end of the island. As the rain yesterday and overnight had softened the ground and made it more workable we decided to pay a visit to a young man we know who owns a cactus and succulent nursery over that way. We have been re-organising areas of our garden in an attempt to combat some of the effects of the increasing shortage of water available for irrigation. One project involves replacing plants at the side of the house that are suffering from the strong summer sunlight they are exposed to, from dawn until early afternoon, with more succulents that can take the heat and lack of water.
The first photos are from that nursery.
While we were in the area we also took the opportunity to check out a Cactus and Sculpture Park that we had heard about.
The second batch of photos are from there.
Hilary, the last photo is for you. This handsome chap reminded us of your post about Athena and her owl.
