Yes. Succulents are good xeriscaping plants and do like Lorell suggested, provide texture and contrast. I lke that you have the water drops sharpish, Dave. It all adds to the depth in the image
However, that makes them weeds in Australia. Which is why I avoid growing them. I do keep some Aloe vera and a small amount of cacti. The lady wife hates the cactus spikes but likes the flowers.
That is a gentle and well used fisheye image there Lorell. It really gives the image depth.
Painterly you say?
That's how I was attempting to compose it. Someone else planted these trees decades ago. I was simply attempting to capture the mood of the artist who planted them. Canberra is a city worth visiting in that regard. It was designed as was my own home town by Walter Burley Griiffin, who left the USA to reside in Australia.
Here's another angle showing the same trees or some of them.

Happiness simply is.
There need be no pursuit.
