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.
many seeds for next year on the Swamp Milkweed!
Don't forget... PLANT MILKWEED to help the Monarchs!!
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.
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.

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!

Until recently I had never seen nutmeg pods with their lacy covering of mace blades but a Flickr contact had a photo up and I was intrigued - I managed to track some down online that weren't an outrageous price and eight of these pretty little pods came to me all the way from Jamaica, taking six long weeks. If I shake them I can hear the nutmeg rattling inside but these will almost certainly stay as they are, looking decorative.
My other shots for this week are here and here

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.
This plant is an aquatic perennial and under favourable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from seeds 1,300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in China. The roots of the lotus plant are in the soil of the pond or river bottom, while its leaves float on the top of the water surface or are held well above it. The flowers are usually found on thick stems rising several centimetres above the leaves. Researchers reported that the lotus has the remarkable ability to regulate the temperature of its flowers to within a narrow range and it is suspected that the flowers may be doing this to attract cold blooded insects.

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!

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 Čertovka (Devil's Channel).
This seed pod made it all the way from Santa Barbara to Scotland. Amazing shape and structure. Macro made from 16 images.
This pod was one of the first to form on our tree this year. Most of the time it looked like the immature pod in the preceding shot.
at the orchid show last weekend, went 2 days in row, took a bunch of shots, this is one of the few I liked.
Preparing to take off from Phoenix and back to Los Angeles, but found this group of trees behind my trailer. They have these clumps of what I believe are seed pods. I squeezed one and they're fairly hard, thought of biting one, but hell, they may be poisonous. 111 degrees fahrenheit right now, LA's not sounding so bad. Maybe some place with mountains after that.
