Re: Cactus flower
Izzie.......another of your beautiful writing style......next time I am in China Town I have to check, if the lions, which are on both ends of China town, also have an apple in their mouth, and if, I will try my luck too.......

When I go to the city I always visit China Town here. One time I was with a tour of some feng shui people (I do not believe in Feng Shui, mind you...) we came upon a pair of guardian lions. They are supposed to be "children lions" but in its history despite that they are playful, they are supposed to be very fierce. One of them has a ball in its mouth. You are supposed to touch that and if it moves you will be lucky for the rest of your life and any problems will just easily fade away. Anyway to cut my story short, I was the first on line to touch the ball in its mouth and with a much gentle push and wriggle, the ball moves. Every Chinese in the street passing by, uttered a surprise. I just thought nothing of it until it was explained to me what that means. So the rest of the group in the tour decided they want their luck to change too. Lo and behold! No one was able to move the ball again. Apparently, as explained, it chose only one every so often and since we were in a group, I was the chosen one. I was grinning from ear to ear all the way home...wee..wee...wee...(like an oinkling...)
And oh, did I tell you that the house I am staying right now has a red door? Yup! That kind of red.
Just to stay with the red color theme, a couple of days I was out shopping, and noticed some red shopping trolleys, so as I always have a little Fuji XF1 in my handbag, just for these things, if I see something, I quickly shot a photo......as I said before, I love this special nuance of red ........
Izzie have a happy day,
Griddi.......

Re: Cactus flower
Nice angle and sharpness, Griddi...I think these are Target shopping trolleys because of the logo at the side of them...
