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 : ))
in my garden...
Please consider planting milkweed in your garden.... the Monarch Butterflies need this plant to survive....
Submerged Tradition on the Korana River
Today we are walking along our Korana river. 🌿 I'm fascinated by this ancient tradition of preserving wooden boats – the boats are intentionally submerged in the river to protect them from decay and high water levels. Keeping a wooden boat in the sun and dry air only accelerates rot and cracks. When underwater, the wood swells, closes its pores, and thus conserves itself naturally. I came across this mooring where all the boats are submerged like this and had to capture it in black and white.
Potopljena Tradicija na Korani
Danas šetamo uz našu Koranu. 🌿 Fascinira me ova drevna tradicija čuvanja drvenih čamaca – čamci se namjerno potope u rijeku kako bi se sačuvali od propadanja i visokog vodostaja. Držanje drvenog čamca na suncu i suhom zraku samo pospješuje truljenje i pukotine. Kada je pod vodom, drvo nabubri, zatvori pore i tako se prirodno konzervira. Naletio sam na ovaj vez gdje su svi čamci tako potopljeni i morao sam to zabilježiti u crno-bijeloj tehnici.
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.
Coquelicot (Papaver rhoeas).
A l'origine, en français, il s'écrivait coquelicoq (1545), son nom vernaculaire est une variante de l'ancien français coquerico, désignant le coq par onomatopée : il s'agit d'une métaphore entre la couleur de la fleur et celle de la crête du coq.
Originally spelt coquelicoq in French (1545), its vernacular name is a variant of the Old French coquerico, meaning rooster by onomatopoeia: a metaphor between the colour of the flower and that of the rooster's crest.

Seed pods from a Sycamore tree at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum in Santa Barbara, California.
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!
The white magnolia leaves have faded to brown and started falling off revealing the green seed pod inside.
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.

Oooh! What's that over there?
Looking at these Lotus blossom seed heads it is easy to tell where the sun shines its brightest on this little pond.

Redbuds, Cercis canadensis, produce a lot of flowers, and, consequently, lots of fruits. Here are just a few of them. They resemble pea and bean pods, among other fruit from the legume family.
Isn't God a great artist? Thanks for looking.
My countless previous photos never captured the pod details like this one finally did.
I can't blame the camera anymore :)
I like the repeating patterns found in nature, like the individual seeds of grass in the seed pod.

Sumac red seed pods remain on plants into winter, providing emergency non-toxic food for birds. Only the female plants have the seed clusters.
The red color of these seeds contrasting beautifully against the large green leaves of this Magnolia tree.
The dragonflies seem to love these Cana Lilly pods. They frequently hang out on the when we are having our morning coffee on the front porch.
It's been a few months of complete lack of motivation for photography, and almost no opportunities to take photos. So today I ventured out on a regular walk from my place - first time with a camera for a while. There wasn't anything 'new' that I thought i'd photograph - I kind of resigned myself to enjoy taking lots of images of the regular cormorants who own the rocky outcrops of the Taroona foreshore. So I did and it felt good.
But then on the way back, just after i'd swapped out the 400mm lens for a 24-70mm lens a large pod of dolphins and seals swam up to the foreshore, right in front of me!! So with a quick fumble of changing back to a big tele lens (and all the wrong camera settings you have in this kind of scenario) I managed to get some images! There's quite a few good images that i'll process in the next week or so.
Has anyone ever seen a banana pod before?
I hadn't!
Enjoy this specimen which was hanging in
the old greenhouse we visited on Thursday!
