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.
Has anyone ever seen a banana pod before?
I hadn't!
Enjoy this specimen which was hanging in

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

NOTE: that glue mark isn't that visible, the lighting is just making it look like that. :/
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!

These interesting ice pods formed on the sides of Horsetail Falls during a deep freeze. Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
Eu poderia inventar, dizer que ele é um herói veterano da Baía dos Porcos, que o fotografei quando passei em Playa Girón, mas não seria verdade. Só sei que o encontramos na cidade de Santa Clara, ao descer do mausoléu do Che, a caminho do museu erguido nos trilhos do trem.....foi aqui a vitória crucial, onde a coluna comandada pelo médico argentino interceptou o trem blindado, carregado de armas, que seguia para Havana.
Este senhor, descansado e tranquilo em frente de casa, certamente viu a revolução triunfar em 1959.
Onde Davi venceu Golias.
