This close-up shot is of a yucca plant that was growing in the Grand Canyon. The fibers on the outside of the leaf have started to peel and curl on themselves. The yucca plant is a staple of the Southwest and generally grows in warm dry climates. The fibers from the yucca were used prehistorically to produce rope, cordage, woven sandals and many other tools.Friday, October 26, 2007

I read it really fast and I thought it said "peeing" However, after closer inspection I realized it said peeLing and I too think this is very creative. Nice shot!
