Smorgasbord Coffee Time Haiku – Spain – #Lanzarote – Plants Cling to Life by Sally Cronin

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Smorgasbord - Variety is the Spice of Life.

As I go through my images from our travels, I am going to share some that I have published with the addition of a Haiku over the last few years. In the first posts in the series some from our 17 years living in Spain and exploring this ancient and fascinating country.

This in Lanzarote where plants grew out of the cliff face despite the lack of fresh water…

    Although I would expect that some foolhardy person has attempted it, at one time or another.

Beautiful photos, Sally! I’m always amazed when plants can not only grow but flourish straight out of rocks!

Beautiful. Mother Nature is quite remarkable. She only needs the tiniest bit of soil and water and air to grow. 🙂

Wonderful photo, Sally. Those plants are not only clinging to lfe, they’re flourishing. A lesson for us, perhaps?

That is amazing–plants growing with only salt water. I’ve seen it myself but never paused to wonder how it’s possible.
