My neighbourhood has trees with these terrific golden seedpods.

The panopticon* "Atom" which perches on a hillside above the village of Wycoller in East Lancashire.

 

It was the winner of an international competition for panopticons organised in 2003.

*Panopticon - a structure, space or device providing a comprehensive or panoramic view.

 

Here's an earlier one I took - www.flickr.com/photos/mabvith/50195825781

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 Čertovka (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.

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.

After taking this picture I noticed the eys in the image hence the title - hope you like it.

..si nos vamos para el cielo o para el infierno | ...if we're going to heaven or hell |

Pues... la decisión de dónde vamos no depende de una respuesta simple. La verdadera pregunta es: ¿Estamos viviendo de una manera que nos permita tener confianza en nuestro destino?

El camino al cielo o al infierno se construye con cada elección. Cultiva la confianza en ti mismo y en tus acciones para encontrar la paz interior.

Ahora bien, la idea del cielo y el infierno es un tema complejo y personal. Tal vez sea más importante vivir con integridad y confianza en que estamos haciendo lo mejor que podemos.Así que en lugar de preocuparnos por un destino final, enfoquémonos en construir una vida llena de significado y confianza. Resulta que la felicidad verdadera se encuentra en el camino, no solo en el destino.

En resumen: la confianza en nosotros mismos y en un poder superior es lo que nos guía. Cultivando esa confianza, podemos encontrar la serenidad que buscamos.

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!

Anyone for some fragrant Indian spice ? Best viewed large.

 

Used in cooking, for flavoring drinks like milk and tea, and traditional medicines. Can be chewed raw as an excellent mouth freshener.
