That particular moment when a new Agave leaf is just about to free itself from the growth core of the plant is our Wednesday Vignette.
The last tension before the letting-go.
Update: Based on comments, I guess I should reassure everyone that the letting-go went as it should.

Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phillip!
DeleteEver tempted to hasten it with a gentle finger flick? :)
ReplyDeleteI have complete trust in my Agaves. ;)
DeleteThis sort of stresses me out for some reason. Like seedlings that can't quite break free of the seed casing, I feel like I need to assist...
ReplyDeleteLet it go, let it go, let that leaf out of the core...now I have that song in my head.
DeleteIt's a beautiful image! It immediately brought to mind Michelangelo's painting in the Sistine Chapel.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's what I thought of. Thought of adding the wikicommons image!
DeleteA beautiful abstraction of that painting, indeed! Thanks for joining in, and sorry I didn't see it until today.
DeleteNo matter! Hope you were out gardening and enjoying summer!
Delete'Arabesque' is the word that comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteA good word!
