nutmeg pods reflected
Macro Mondays 'In the mirror' theme.
Until recently I had never seen nutmeg pods with their lacy covering of mace blades but a Flickr contact had a photo up and I was intrigued - I managed to track some down online that weren't an outrageous price and eight of these pretty little pods came to me all the way from Jamaica, taking six long weeks. If I shake them I can hear the nutmeg rattling inside but these will almost certainly stay as they are, looking decorative.
My other shots for this week are here and here
This photo will be used in an Australian book 'Australia's Rainforest Heritage' (working title) by Cheryll Williams, published by the CSIRO.
