MonoMonday - Middle
Some fiendish person keeps choosing these fiendish challenges. It might be Skeena!
This is the middle of an agave attenuata - I love the smooth flowing lines, and delicate textures. They make a fine accent plant in the garden, and are as tough as old boots.
In other news - I am bereft. Last night my last monarch caterpillar left home. So that's the end of that. I only have one pupa to watch, out of a dozen or so 'pillars. I'm certain most of them are around somewhere, but it's a jungle out there. I really wanted to watch the last two or three leave, but they are sneaky little sods. They crept away while I was making dinner, so I missed the exodus. On the plus side I'm glad they are gone, because the plants are stripped bare. So I have covered them over with asparagus fern, to stop more eggs being laid.
I'm still watching my single solitary chrysalis like a hawk, but so far nothing is happening that's visible to me.
I have chosen next week's MM challenge, because it's a year since it was first started. Can you believe that - a whole year of MonoMondays.
The challenge is -- (and what else could it be) CLOSE-UP, but it doesn't have to be a macro. Just close-up. With the tag mm52
