I see this stand of yuccas on the drive into Waimea and watch for it to bloom. When it does, late afternoons are the best time for photographs so I try to remember to stop on the way back from hiking off Saddle Road or at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. In this instance, it was the latter, and I was passing by around 6 pm.
Look closely at the top photo and the telescopes of Mauna Kea can be seen in the distant background, which is a bit unusual for this time of day, morning being their time to shine.

Love the top photo 😀

Thanks. Has a bit of an alien feel to it, I think.

I love that first photo! It almost looks surreal or other worldly somehow.

I agree, which is why I keep an eye out for their flowering. It’s quite the sight.
