I was very
intrigued by these yucca pods. I felt I
really needed to capture these and so I struggled over some sand plowed sand
drifts (and provided entertainment for other visitors driving by!) to get to
them. One of the plants really captured
my attention…..
The first thing
that I noticed was how the yucca seedpod seemed to be reaching for the
Sacramento Mountains in the distance.
Then, the more I looked at that scene, the more I saw that “reaching”
seemed to be the theme of this view. You
can see the shadows seem to be reaching in the same direction, but the yucca
plant itself and the grasses nearby seemed to be reaching for the sky. The mountains and dunes seem to be flowing
thru the image and add a nice anchor.
If “reaching”
seems to be the theme to the first image, then “merge” is the theme of this
image. As I shot it, it felt like the
dunes were merging into the sky, taking on the color of the sky and just sort
of flowing up to meet it. In this image,
the yucca is the anchoring point. Funny
how a change in perspective can change everything, isn’t it?
Enjoy!
