We saw two pods of resident orcas, J Pod and L Pod, and were extremely fortunate to see the two pods interact with each other.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HLCoF
I loved the look of this seed pod (from an agapanthus). Looked like a little bunch of aliens in a boat :)

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.

Have a great weekend!
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

Me conformo con eso.
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.

These are inviting the birds to a feast so that the guests may distribute these seeds around the neighbourhood, eventually.
That's how I acquired my bush. (Known as the Butterfly Bush.)

A close look at Canna Lily pods, with their interesting spiky texture.
I guess you could technically call this a macro shot, but I consider it more of an extreme closeup.
My friend Gray gave me an old film camera the other day with a lovely Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.8 lens on it ... I bought an adapter ... took it for a spin this evening ... used some extension tubes on a few shots ... but mostly enjoyed the lens ... as is!
I couldn't resist photographing this backlit seed pod. It was blowing in the wind, so it's not sharp, but I like everything else about it.

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 !
Seed pods from a Sycamore tree at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum in Santa Barbara, California.
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.
My countless previous photos never captured the pod details like this one finally did.
I can't blame the camera anymore :)
