[Leica] Wednesday Weeds

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  I admit it, the heat and no rain are starting to annoy
me. So, this week you mostly get rain drops on foliage.   First is a leaf
on a rose bush that does it's best to be a tree:

This is a succulent native to the region and it tolerates dryness very well:

This is the same rose bush seen previously:

As I will get into on a later day I have accumulated some interesting
lenses.  This one is a lens the Air Force had Nikon create to photograph
CRT's for record keeping purposes:

As anyone can attest, nut grass is extremely tolerant of abuse and will
grow on just about anything:

Last, when we had rain, the winds were high enough to knock a lot of leaves
off the trees and even petals off the cactus:

All the best.
