Brightening things up a bit

i realized one thing i could definitely do to break up the bushco atmosphere of unrelieved gloom is to post more pics...

this is one of three beautiful blossoms on the large aloe plant that grows right outside my front window, where i can gaze on its beauty as i toil away on my laptop... it always blooms right in the middle of the buenos aires winter... while the climate is mild enough here for other plants to also bloom during invierno (winter), this one only pops into bloom in late july/early august, just when winter is entering its home stretch...
