Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,
or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind
It's cold looking but also beautiful,
sometimes said to be too plentiful,
brought from South Africa to stabilize
U.S. beachfront railroad ties.
So, what is this thing I shot in nature?
I await your guesses... catch you later!

ReplyDeleteWait I change my mind, Californias ever popular Iceplant!
ReplyDeleteWell that was fast! Yes, that is it! The ice plant. :) Are you just THAT smart or did I make it too easy.... hmmmm... :)
DeleteRachel, after I thought about it I remembered from living in Ca. that they use Iceplant on just about every slope, incline, hill, etc. that is subject to erosion problems because it grows fast!

ReplyDeleteI had no idea it had come from South Africa either... until I googled some facts for my riddle. LOL. :)
DeleteHello Rachel.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of ice plant before. When I first looked at it, I thought it was perhaps celery! Saw some photos of it in Wikipedia. It's actually quite pretty.
Learned something new. Thanks for sharing.
Hmmm... celery. Haven't eaten any in a while. Perhaps I should buy some so I can photograph it! :)
DeleteI saw from the other comments that it's an iceplant. Hmm, never heard of that one before! Glad I learned something new today! And your poetry is cute too! :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad I could teach you something! :)
