Seed head
Was trying to catch a reflection shot of some wild roses by a small pond. On the way back to the van found the light on this seed head. Not sure of the plant but shot several shots and wife picked this one. The reflection shot is only so,so.

Nice shot. These are always fun to shoot when they come out. They make nice decorations for the home if you spray them with hair spray. This is the seed pod from the Goat’s Beard flower.

Philip,thanks for the ID, have always had some around but they don't cause enough problem that I knew what they were.

Nice catch. I like the patterns and how the light is caught.

Very nice, Kendall! This is one of those shots that I've always wanted to capture myself...

Tim!

Beautiful light coming through the filaments, Kendall. Well captured.
