I think I am an artist. I paint every now and then when I get the itch to paint. I'm always looking for inspiration. Nature - Mother earth, never disappoints me with  her awesome beauty. When I first saw these pictures  I simply couldn't resist sharing. My eyes well up with tears every time I see these beautiful pictures. How lucky are we to live on this amazing planet? I'm so grateful for my life on earth.  I'm in awe of this magnificent sight.

These plants that are found in some regions of  South Africa,Namibia, Botswana and few other African countries  are commonly known as 'pebble plants' or 'living stones'. These plants blend into the surroundings as rocks in order to avoid getting eaten.
I'm in awe of nature and it's capability and intelligence to adapt.
