For me, it was Expedition to the Baobab Tree, by Wilma Stockenström.

The plot is anachronistic, spanning decades or centuries and across many nondescript but very real locations. The narrator is meant to exemplify the experiences of countless people who have endured the same legacy of slavery and abuse across time and space in human history.

The last section of the story deconstruct one’s desperation for meaning and self-identity in the face of absolute solitude. I’ve never read another book like it.

I feel the same way. So many succulents have very simple yet complex geometry.

Love to see someone go to Huntington Gardens and get the good scratch

Neurothemis Fluctuans Otherwise known as the Red Grasshawk.

Rad picture, very well focused. Love it.

The alignment is very cool. Well done!

The lens flare is a nice touch

Some variety of Cleistocactus. I’m more of a leafy greens type of person lol.
