Description
I photographed this caper flower at my son's house in Santa Tecla... it grew into a crack in the ground!
Monday morning I will return to Santa Tecla to continue my "work" of Grandma... I will return to my house next weekend.
I wish you all a wonderful week! :)
Thank you all for looking and for previous comments and favourites!
