When I’m not looking for rock faces, I enjoy shaking my camera at desert plants 🙂

beauty in death
After an Agave finishes flowering, it dies. But as it’s dehydrating, it becomes very colorful.
This specimen is at the start of its decline so I used Photoshop to intensify the color a little.
fighting chance
Now that there’s a fence around Javelina Cafe, this Parry’s Agave will finally be able to have babies.
Agaves send out runners (called offsets) under ground which Javelina find irresistible!
Note the pup in the photo below has already been chewed on. The center looks strong, though.
Also….a bloom has been allowed to mature, thanks to the fence.
I’m really looking forward to next Spring 🙂

hot
Yes, it’s hot this week. We had 106 but the valley had 112!
We, the cats and desert adapted plants (like this variegated agave) are hanging in there.
