Nighty!
Vera woke me up in the middle of the night and asked if I shot my daily photo.
I hadn't. Why was I sleeping anyway?
So I had to set up my studio in the middle of the living room and start shooting.
Here's what I got:
Crassula ovata
Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50 mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/1.4
Exposure: 1/200 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200
I got this plant from my mother as leaf cuttings when Vera and I had moved together sometime after or about 2002. Anyways, I later ended up making a few cuttings from it myself. So, while this one likes to crawl, I've had success in growing its siblings (?) in upright manner to look more like little trees.
This plant hangs out on a small cupboard in front of our livingroom window. Something for Kiemis to look at.
I've been very tired lately. I have also started sneezing again. Another flu or cold coming up? I could do with a recovery holiday trip to some warm country I guess.

Sorry about the flu @gamer00. Deal with quick before it becomes full blown.

This plant... why is it growing to the left side? :D
That's a huge angle comparing to the normal position in which plants often grow lol.

It's partly because plants want to grow towards the light, and since this one is situated in front of our livingroom window, it yearns for those afternoon rays and grows ever so hungrily towards the window whenever the sun is shining on our balcony and through, into our livingroom. :)
The other part of it is that I haven't kept turning the pot around every now and then to balance the growth.

Oh, it was obvious about the light. Sometimes I surprise myself how uneducated I am lol.
Well... Plants can even grow from the rocks or almost dead land. So it shouldn't be huge miracle for a plant to grow to the left))

I simply love your plant photos. Everytime there is new one from you, i’m eager to hear story behind it. And it also makes me eager to get more of these green beauties in my own apartment! Aren’t crassulas very slow to grow? So have i heard..

Thanks, I really appreciate the nice words!
I wouldn't say they are slow, alas Wikipedia disagrees. Maybe I've just not kept books on those many years they've taken to grow.
One thing I do know for sure is that if I had only one plant, I could use its leaves to create as many new plants as there are leaves on the original tree, and in a year or two I would have a small forest of jade trees, provided I had enough pots and soil. :)

@gamer00,
A Steemian told me "Cold Water Shower" is a good way to fight against fever and flu :D I didn't check it, but if you wish you can try! Make a life insurance before that lol :D
Wonderful photography! How many times I told you you are addicted like me do :/
Cheers~

Nice shot as always! Have you ever been to Turkey? If not, you should come. I'm sure you will not regret it :)

Thanks! I have never been to Turkey, but in a matter of fact there are some places I would like to visit if I ever came over.
This place (Kapadokya):
...and this place (Myra Necropolis):
...and Palmyra too:
Seeing the ancient City of Troy would be nice, and maybe some other places too; Gopekli Tepe, Lycian tombs, the ghost cities of Ani and Kayakoy... :)

Thank you, you make me happy with this detailed comment :) I hope you do it! You know the places to visit in Turkey :) There are more and I couldn't visit all of them yet. I think the most efficient city is Istanbul. If you like historical places, you absolutely like this city. You should travel all over turkey for nature wonders :)
