Feeling Down?

I have some agave plants at home but none so towering.

In order to show the relative size of the plants, I requested for a model to pose next to them...

...but all I see is a sulky face.

What do you do when you feel down?

She decided to go for a walk...alone.

In the vastness of space, her problem seem very small comparatively.

Whatever that she was upset about was soon forgotten as she enjoyed the breeze and the almost nothingness of the environment.

However, her position was already replaced by a more cheerful model.

It didn't matter.

She had to focus and watch her steps while coming down the rocky slope. 

As she concentrated on her every step, there was no more room left in her to be upset about.

What is your remedy when you feel down?

Flowering Agave

My agave plants are flowering right now.

This is the first bloom after 2 1/2 years.

There are two of them flowering side by side at the same time.

It wasn't easy to take these photos as the flower stalk is very tall.
Further, they are growing in a planter which has been built on the wall.

My 10 year old neighbour noticed that I was struggling to take the photos and offered to climb up the wall to help get a better picture. For him, it was probably an opportunity to climb but I must admit this boy loves to help...just like the rest of his family. 

Actually, it would have been great if he could take some shots of the flower buds and pollens but I wasn't good with my instruction and the plant was very prickly.
In the end, I settled with the zoom feature.

This is how the baby agave looks like from the top view.

Black ants and paper wasp call this agave plant their home.
