Last of the Thanksgiving photos, I really enjoyed photographing agave again. I live a bit out of their range, but I’m considering planting one anyway, just to be able to photograph one regularly.

The first one looks unexpectedly like a dragon.

Agave leaves grow in a central column, so tightly packed together, that each leaf leaves an impression on its neighbors. As they mature, they lean backwards, eventually ending up on the ground.
