For nature week at Lens and Pen by Sally I have a close up shot of the Hens and Chicks on our front porch.  I love how these plants thrive with little to no attention and this one has been happily residing its tiny pot for years.

Aren’t they delightful? I used to have a pot, but lost that one to heavy snow one year when I wasn’t there to sweep it away, that was sad as I’d had them for years, then I tried another pot a couple of years ago, but they died because it was too wet last winter!

This pot is our second try too, Jude. The last batch didn’t make it through a wet winter as well.

This is a wonderful photo. You have captured it well. Did you use a camera app, or is it the original? I used the snapseed app to play around a bit with my contribution. http://forestwoodfolkart.wordpress.com/2014/08/05/phoneography-and-other-non-slr-digital-devices-photo-challenge-nature/
