Sometimes I just like to pick things up from the sidewalk, and sometimes I just like to stick things in my hair.
Here is the result of both tendencies.
Designed for low-altitude cargo transportation, the C27 is used extensively in shipping yards across the galaxy, with many corporations outfitting craft with additional grasping arms or manoeuvring jets for handling more varied cargo.
I doubt this would sit well in the Star Wars galaxy due to its small size but I had a lot of fun building this little guy none the less! :D
The seed pod of a Red Yucca, which is actually in the aloe family. For 2016: one photo each day (271/366)
Adult hippos move at speeds up to 8 km/h (5 mph) in water; typically resurfacing to breathe every three to five minutes. The young have to breathe every two to three minutes. The process of surfacing and breathing is subconscious: a hippo sleeping underwater will rise and breathe without waking up. A hippo closes its nostrils when it submerges into the water. As with fish and turtles on a coral reef, hippos occasionally visit cleaning stations and signal, by opening their mouths wide, their readiness for being cleaned of parasites by certain species of fishes. This is an example of mutualism in which the hippo benefits from the cleaning, while the fish receive food. Although hippos lie close to each other, they do not seem to form social bonds except between mothers and daughters, and they are not social animals. The reason they huddle close together is unknown. Hippopotamuses are territorial only in water, where a bull presides over a small stretch of river, on average 250 m (270 yds) in length, and containing 10 females. The largest pods can contain over 100 hippos.

The photo was taken during January 2016 at Mabula Private Game Reserve, Rooiberg, Limpopo, South Africa.
Fall has fallen and colour is fading, a walk to the shoreline and not a single wild flower, hard wind is blowing the fallen leaves and outdoor photo opportunities are becoming minimal.
Happy Weekend!!

In general ... flowers, but specifically I find that the Poppy seed pod is an architectural miracle by Mother Nature ... I love these up there with dandelions. Fascinating, all of them.

In this attempt at depicting Screwbean Mesquite Pods hanging from a twig, the beans are left to wonder...
will I ever be eaten, or have I already?

The Hoppa Pod was one of the sub-miniature space pods that created a brief fashion, roughly 450 years ago. These little bubble cars were handy for people living in crowded megapolises. The cars were quick, cheap to run, easy to park and required the lowest level of pilot's licence. The distinctive noise made by these diminutive pods often annoyed the drivers of larger, more prestigious vehicles.
Home delivery drones and tele-working gradually reduced the need for small commuter and shopping space vehicles. Nowadays, space bubble cars are only seen in pristine, polished condition at rallies of enthusiasts.
The Australian Banksia accumulates seeds in its canopy, releasing them only when conditions are suitable for establishing new plants. The delayed release of this mature seed bank is known as serotiny, and can require the preservation of seeds inside their pods for several years, somehow secured against damage from high levels of UV radiation, predation, changing weather conditions and microbial attack. Release is then triggered, often by the normally destructive agency of bushfires.
The Australian children's author, May Gibbs, featured villains called Big, Bad Banksia Men whose scary looks were modelled on these strange growths.
