Artful Seeds and Pods

No mires la opulencia
como un don de cierta gente
que sólo quiere y desea poseer,
porque siempre encontrarás
a personas que aún sabiendo
que tener y poseer
les abre muchos caminos,
no buscan ese tener,
ya que bien saben y conocen
que tener nunca da el ser.
La opulencia y el poder
es ese pequeño reflejo
que con un poquito de aire
apenas lo logras ver.
Sólo resiste y muy firme,
aquello que no se ve
y transforma a la persona
en ser y no en cosa
que es lo que se busca tener.
From our garden in July.
Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday!
Take care and stay safe. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

Finding some time for photography during my very busy time. I am working very hard during lock-down period. All work is done remotely from home though.
Back again after few days. I took a few days off because sometimes Flickr is overwhelming and takes a lot of time out of my days. I just post no more than two photos a day because that.
I find Maple (Acer) seed pods more beautiful than the flowers it produces in spring. A maple leaf is on the coat of arms of Canada, and is on the Canadian flag. The maple is a common symbol 🍁 of strength and endurance and has been chosen as the national tree of Canada.
Lavender Pods is an arrangement of pods on a light box. the image was inverted and a filter applied.
This ridge is just less than 2 inches wide and is a portion of a giant seed pod which I brought home from Jamaica a very long time ago. The actual seed pod is about 1 1/2 foot long and came from a big tree with beautiful red flowers. It broke in half during the flight and the closed portion still has seeds in them, I can hear them ratting about.
Dnes krátko pred 5-tou hodinou rannou prekročil Česko-Slovenskú hranicu zvláštny vlak pod názvom Retro Train, v čele ktorého sa ukázala kedysi žilinská "žehlička" 110.021 a 749.247.
Jedná sa o druhý ročník výletneho vlaku, naprieč najkrajšími slovenskými železničnými traťami. Trasa vlaku je naplánovaná z Prahy cez Čadcu-Vrútky-Kremnicu-Zvolen-Muráň-Humenné-Margecany-Telgárt-Banskú Bystricu-Vrútky a späť do Prahy.

Oravská magistrála žije nákladnou dopravou aj v sobotu. Dôkazom toho je pravidelný manipulačný vlak z Trstenej do Liskovej, vedený pod číslom 86550. Na fotografii kocúr 742.368 v čele 11 vozňovej ucelenky dreva míňa obec Krívá a pozdĺž rieky Oravy sa plazí k Dlhej nad Oravou, kde priberie ďaľší náklad. Drevo z oravských lesov zväčša končí v Rumunskej stanici Stupini, neďaleko mesta Brasov, kde sídli nemecká firma Kronospan, ktorá sa zaoberá výrobou nábytku.
No me gusta que me agranden
las estrellas que yo veo,
que las quiero chiquititas
para colgarlas en mi cielo,
y allí poder jugar
con los sueños que yo tengo.
Ellos son muy pequeñitos,
mas me bastan para ser
feliz mientras con ellos
pongo sendero a la vida,
y con ellas me distraigo
soñando que soy, sin ser,
mientras a ellas las cuido.
No me quites,
ni me agrandes las estrellas,
que así con ellas respiro.
One of the Yucca seed pods I collected while visiting New Mexico this summer. It looks pretty dried out so I thought it would be perfect for the Macro Monday's theme this week.
Shot with: VOIGTLANDER, 125mm f/2.5 SL, MACRO APO-LANTHAR, shot @ f/5.6, 38 Layer Focus Stack Rendered w/Helicon Focus, (B,R4,S2). Images measures 3 inches wide. Texture provided by Lenebem-Anna.
BTW: A week of having COVID and I'm so done with it. I dodged the bullet for 3 1/2 years and it finally caught me. I'm still testing positive at Day 8 but at least I'm feeling better, I'll be catching up soonest.
This unusual leathery, twisted seed pod is the remnants of an Illinois bundleflower. Photo taken at Thomas Mitchell Park in Polk County, Iowa.
