We planted three small perennial plants of Physalis alkekengi, (aka bladder cherry, Chinese lantern, Japanese-lantern, strawberry ground cherry, or winter cherry). I love the cheery orangish lantern-shaped paper-like pod or husk around each bright round seed.
Photographed these little lanterns this morning outside in the dew. Each about 4–5 cm/1.57-1.97 inch long and broad. NOT lens distortion—the plant dried and squished into the ground.

Thanks for looking.
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.
I know that they youngsters crawling around everywhere in this scene belong to Dolly but have absolutely no idea what the larger gator (let's call is a sub adult) is doing in the middle of the pod!! On a warm day when it could be digesting it food those little ones would be fair game in the open water!! I was puzzled as to why Dolly was willing to allow the larger one to stick around!! She was about 10' from the bank at this point! I might also add that Dolly is one of the most tolerant females on the bayou!! Let's hope she stays that way because she is just about the largest female as well!!! Photos were taken on Horsepen Bayou!

These interesting ice pods formed on the sides of Horsetail Falls during a deep freeze. Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
Walking around on the east side of the river we found this garden restaurant just under Charles' bridge. This is an area with a lot of tourists, however I managed to get a fairly clean shot with only the crew of the small boats travelling on ÄŒertovka (Devil's Channel).
These plants are producing pods in a neighbor's yard in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to macro and raw.
Friday flora
Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads. Banksias range in size from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall.
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!
Eve is a 9 year old rescue greyhound. She is a local girl that raced in Alberta for the last 9 years. I (and Hallbadorn) have had her for 1 week now. She is slowly adjusting to house life, but really only feels safe when she is in her crate. To help with the adjustment we thought she should have a crate buddy. So Paulie the Polar Bear is now her new friend.
Here is Eve Large in all her Glory!!
As to the shot, I was finding it surprisingly difficult to get a decent photo of Eve. Ultimately I had to pull out the Alien Bee strobe to light the shot. Not my best work, but my Mom wanted to see her so up the photo goes!
All comments and feedback are greatly appreciated!
