Distractions...

...not much knitting going on...I've been kept entertained at work.  While it seems wildflower season didn't do much here (that I managed to capture anyhow), the yucca around campus are in bloom.   These delicate flowers are found on some rather gigantic yucca (some of the foliage is as tall as I am, it seems!) and are only open in the morning when I go into work.  By the time I wrap things up to head home, all the buds on the stalk are closed tight!  Hopefully they leave the stalks intact so I can see what the fruit looks like later this year.

oooo! I love yucca plants! In Big Bend Nat'l park there's a "trail" (car or rather truck trail) that leads to the Valley of the Yuccas. It could well be one of my favorite places on earth. Some of those things were freakin' HUGE!
