This impressive yucca is nearly 20 feet tall including its many flower stalks. When I first saw it the light was poor and I had an old camera with me. I got a mediocre picture, which, to my surprise, showed some spheres floating around the yucca (there was no rain, moisture condensation, flying insects, anything that would explain the effect). Later I photographed it on several different occasions but failed to get any of the strange objects. This is a simulation of the original image but at higher quality. I think it's kind of a cool effect, anyway.
