analogue wednesday #244
very lightly double-exposed frames from from R4R-73, mostly by me with some shades from gianni. sometimes the portuguese sun is just too strong, and nothing else shines through. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

orbea variegata
spotted these pretty flowers in a neighbour garden, and aren’t they a thing of beauty?
they’re orbea variegata, also known as star flowers. it’s a succulent with cactus-like “leaves”, but the flowers were what drew me to them — they grow around the edges of the plant in the winter rainfall season, and are just striking.
i’ve recently gotten my hands on a few specimens to plant in the garden, for further investigation… :P
lots of new birds, rain, video dinners with friends, a short caravan trip to hike around alentejo and check on our favorite coast, new succulents, lots of walking… and so much chinese studying.
a good month by all accounts, but i think this year is finally getting to me. :( slowly, tiredness settled in and it felt like my energy was barely enough to keep up with work and studying for the exam. i tried to squeeze in some walking everyday, but everything else just felt like too much.
