Summary:

I caught some nice afternoon Winter lighting conditions and took photos of succulents located in our garden, making for great desktops.

More Details

Succulents are great plants that work well in desert climate, and the best thing is they provide an extremely rich variety of textures, patterns, and colors. Their blossoms are often beautiful and vibrant when blooming, yet when they dry up they still develop a new type of beauty to enjoy.

Living in Valencia, California you don’t want to have grass or water heavy plants. It’s a dry climate with hot summer days that frequently hit 100º degrees. When we bought our home, it was nothing but grass in the back yard, it looked lame and boring, ready to suck up a lot of water, and require regular mowing. We tore all the lame grass out and planted succulents, a couple of trees, and a fountain with some koi fish.

Yesterday I caught some nice afternoon Winter lighting conditions and took a handful of photos of succulents located around our garden. Here are the best ones that I’ve retouched and cropped that will make for great wallpapers for your desktop, laptop, iPad, or iPhone. Feel free to share and I hope you enjoy them.
