Hiking the short river trail on a cloudy afternoon and noticed these pods "hiding" along the trail. A little snow, soft bokeh and backlite like it was intentional.

Laundry detergent pods. For the Macro Mondays group. Topic: Handle with care. These little detergent pods are quite fragile and squish easily. They are convenient but must be kept out of the reach of children because the look very much like candy. HMM!
Here in central Florida, milkweed usually blooms and seeds once in the spring and again in the fall. Normally, I cover seed pods with wedding favor bags in order to collect the seeds and place them where I desire them to be. Combined, the areas of the front, back and side yards hold over six hundred milkweed plants, there are really too many to count. More are growing all of the time because I simply reseed the milkweed areas when the seed pods are ready. Each plant currently has multiple seed pods and as you can see from this image, on occasion I miss a pod or two when it comes to covering them.
Currently, I am short on wedding favor bags but more are on order. In addition to reseeding my milkweed areas I do grow some in pots to keep on the lanai to use as good clean food, free from caterpillars and eggs. That supply runs out first when I am raising monarchs and queens. I have to say I am glad the plants recover quickly. I have also given several envelopes of seeds away to other butterfly gardeners so they too can replenish their milkweed plants. It’s difficult to believe that nurseries want to charge about seven dollars per plant. I spent a small fortune when I began growing milkweed but never again will I have a need to purchase it and I like to share so I do. LOL, other butterflies are less expensive and time consuming to raise.
As for the seeds in this image, where they blow I may never know. I hope they get to grow and flourish wherever they land. If they land in my yard in an unauthorized location, they will be relocated to a more appropriate space.
Now, with this virus going around I wonder how many people have spring fever on this April fool’s day verses cabin fever. Most people I have spoken to have cabin fever. To help my friends and family, I plan to make phone calls, send texts and cute emails and play on Facebook a bit more than normal. Other than that, my normal hasn't really changed much. My thoughts are with you all, stay safe.
Happy April fool’s day and happy snapping

This is the first year our Itoh Peony flowered and was very surprised at the size of these seed pods!!
Itoh peonies, with their spectacular flowers and beautiful colors are a gift to gardeners everywhere.
Itoh peonies originated by crossing herbaceous peonies and tree peonies, and they combine the best features of each. While they have the mounded growth habit of herbaceous peonies and die back to the ground in winter, they also produce immense flowers like tree peonies.
Background color provided by a distant brick commercial building (brightly lit by the setting sun). Texas Medical Center, Houston. Manually focused (cool and easy with the visual aids provided by the R6) because autofocus failed to acquire the desired subject in full shade.
Maybe (poisonous) Sennabean (Sesbania drummondii). Please feel free to correct me or guess. There were definitely Sennabeans nearby with 4-sided capsules that rattled in the breeze; this looks slightly different. Perhaps just older, capsule thinning and no longer taut : ))
The Neuron Pod is part of the Blizard Institute of Cell and Molecular Science in Whitechapel. It houses the Centre of the Cell, a science education centre.
It was designed by architect Will Alsop and opened in 2019.
Seed pods of poppies. I developed this in Adobe Lightroom and applied a preset subject concerts CT 05. One of the new adaptive presets from Adobe.
I was very intrigued by the translucency of this tiny little pod with it's wispy tentacles coming from the top. I have no idea what it is.... about 1/4 inch in size.
Seed pods from a Sycamore tree at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum in Santa Barbara, California.
I really have no idea what kind of tree is bearing these odd little fruits that have become translucent and glow in the afternoon sun. I noticed them last week when I did photos with Kris & Chad. They were a little more dried this week compared to last.
Dos poderosas locomotoras norteamericanas, la D-2801 y D-3003, maniobran juntas en los patios de Estación Laja con algunos vagones, para engancharlos a un tren y partir hacia Mininco.
Came upon these seed pods on the edge of a field and thought they were quite beautiful
Now IDed as Illinois Bundleflower by a kind Flickr-friend !

¿Qué mejor oración, qué mayor ansia?
¡Sonreír a la rosa de la mañana;
dejarnos contra ella, rosa con cara;
entrarnos su alma fresca en nuestra alma!
¿Poder tenerlo todo por su fragancia?

Ontario Place Pods, Toronto, were designed by Eb Zeidler. They were originally used for exhibitions at this public park/attraction. Now much of Ontario Place needs renovation. The city and citizen groups have been arguing what to do about it -- some want to demolish it and others want to renovate it because of its cultural heritage. Grunge texture added.
Artist Rose B. Simpson
Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. Simpson created the Pod series while at the Rhode Island School of Design working on her master's degree. She built each piece in one studio session. Each figure is an imperfect, fragile patchwork of components and influences as are human beings.
The actual sculpture is displayed nearby.
