Hard, Sharp, Soft

Yucca is not wispy.  And yet there it was, gentle wisps curling around the stiff, pointy stalks of the Yucca leaves.  Things I get to do today take me past this area on the front walk frquently.  Pretty curls soften my on-a-mission of focus and capture important moments of contemplation.

Threads of contrast--curls on the straight.

Spirals headed in every direction.

How like people--always a soft side, always another aspect not readily visible,  always contrasting beauty.

  1. How beautiful, Andrea. I watch our wild yuccas as they change through the seasons. Their wonderfully slow progress through flowering and seeding stages is as dramatic as they are when dormant. You've enriched my observations with your thoughts.
