patient life

if you happen to be one of these plants, poking up through the lava deserts in northern kenya, you've got to be patient. one year in many, the rain will fall and you have a brief window - to bud, gather enough energy to flower, seed and then go dormant once again for the next few years. This one is waiting: the rains didn't come this year.

thanks, as ever, for looking - i appreciate that my photography, not filled with The Big Dramatic Landscape as it is, is not for everyone! Let me know your thoughts.
