Verna and Bob's Weblog

Street in Old Town Torrance

Every once in a while, Verna will capture a pair of images that I can merge into a three dimensional anaglyph image. This is one of those.

We were driving to a doctor appointment this morning and our route took us through old town Torrance. Verna took a pair of images out of the the truck window. The motion of the truck gave the images the perspective shift necessary for depth perception.

According to the label on the wrapper:

Cream variety with large bloom size, medium petal count, green foliage and opens steadily into a classic rose shape.

Red Amaryllis with Backlighting

Every Christmas, I love to grow amaryllis from their bulbs. It is so easy and the results are quite often spectacular. I took this photo of a red one where it was bathing in Sunlight through the window above and behind. Click on image for the large size.

Christmas Cactus

I look forward to the opening of the Christmas Cactus flowers every year. This is a new one that we got at the garden shop a couple of weeks ago. I love the colors and the delicate nature of these beautiful flowers.

According to The Flower Expert:

Christmas cactus, also known as Orchid Cactus, is a great gift idea on Christmas eve when in full bloom. Christmas cactus is a popular, winter-flowering houseplant native to Brazil. pendulous stems of Christmas cactus make it a great choice for hanging baskets.
