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.
A little something different for Febrovery, here are some simple hovercraft-style rovers, that I affectionately termed Hover Pods. I'm not sure these fall strictly within the Febrovery guidelines for rovers, but thought everyone might enjoy them anyway. So....enjoy!!!
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
In one of the urns, I have dry hydrangea heads and dried Lotus Pods. These pods have glitter around the seed openings so I used them for Christmas decorations out there. Snow blew into the little empty pockets overnight where the seeds used to live.
I have a large poppy plant in a pot, bought last year. It survived the winter and has now flowered and gone to seed. A neighbour has/had some of these in his garden, not sure if they're still there. I was hoping my poppy would have been pollinated from his plants, but as these pods haven't opened, I'm guessing not. A candidate for 28th July Macro Mondays, but I went with the moss fern instead.
There are lots of these types of structures in the water all over Lake Biwa in Japan.
I'm not sure wether they are used for monitoring or perhaps warn of shallow water - either way they are pretty photogenic!
A big THANK YOU! to dennis.gallus for the inspiration behind this shot.
It was Friday evening and Niccy said to me "Let's go for a drive tomorrow". I guess the last trip hadn't quite satisfied her gypsy feet so I said Ok, let's do it.
Saturday morning we packed up to head out. Niccy and myself, a picnic lunch, the Tater Tot, and my camera in the car meant we were ready to find a back road to who knows where.
First stop was Starbucks since Niccy is one of those folks who needs her coffee in the morning. From there we headed out to the fairgrounds, there was an RV show going on and we wanted to see the latest and greatest in escape pods. Once we'd had a real good look it was time to head South and hit the open road.
I'd recently seen this shot:

that was posted by dennis.gallus and thought it would be an interesting place to go so we headed toward Hereford and the bridge.
Other than having to pass through Sierra Vista (just another town) it really was a very pretty drive since we took back roads to get there. As you're driving down you can see the path of the San Pedro River just by looking at all the cottonwood trees that were right in the middle of changing colors, easy to spot, We got to the bridge, pulled off, had a real nice lunch and took the Tater Tot on a bit of a walkabout.
We really enjoy our Sunday drives on Saturdays, they give us just a taste of how things are going to be once we get the RV and get on the road. Yeah, those plans are still a bit in the future but no so far off that we forget to focus on them and it's trips like this that help us stay on track to the goal.
I was the only snorkeler who swam out from shore and the dolphins stayed with me while two dolphins boats waited 50 yards away impatiently to get in on the action.
1x LEGO DC Comics, Super Heroes - Bat-Pod (5004590)
It's taken me one hell of a journey to complete this awesome model designed by Marcos Bessa, finally it's complete (sort-of...)
NB:
-I have replaced 2x '4634091 - Rim Wide 43,2X26 W 6 Hol.Ø 4.8 (Light Stone Grey, Rims) with '6078892 - Rim Wide 43,2X26 W 6 Hol.Ø 4.8' (Black, Rims) due to them being black on the Tumbler.
-2x '6022949 - Wheel Bearing Back' on the left hand side of the Bat-Pod are absent as I forgot to order two more :P

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.
The tiny seeds are inside the seed pods.
It's fun saving your own seeds whenever possible and see what grows out of them.
Sometimes the plant you get is identical to the mother plant, other times somewhat different if the mother plant was a hybrid.
POD means picture of the day.
Office dress in black combined with black 4inch high heels - yes.
How do you think about trousers?
Thank you all for favorising and commenting.

diaphanous seed pods

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.
