This is a red Aeonium succulent plant from my backyard. We had an unusually cold spell back in November and I thought this plant was dead. But it came back to life this spring – even more beautiful than before!

About Ellen Cotton

I moved to California from Canada and the colours of this lush landscape never cease to inspire me. To me a photograph is just the beginning of a work of art and I love to bring out the feeling of a subject through textures, layers and manipulations. I use black & white either to create a mood or to enhance the emphasis on the form of the subject. I also professionally restore old photographs and can be contacted by email for any requests in this regard.
