Stonecrop is one of several succulents that thrive on the island. I suppose they earned the name stonecrop  because they resemble a pile of furry grey stones, with just a dusting of purple. The stonecrop are at their best right now as they are coming into flower, bulging with yellow tubers between the stones. 

Song for the day: Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major performed by Yo Yo Ma.

105mm at f/10, 1/20 sec, tripod. Liveview works really well as it lets you zoom in to check focus.
