ALLEGHENY MONKEYFLOWER SEED PODS

I think this is an iris seed pod. The last remnants of the previous year's flowers.

Sat waiting for a meeting in one of the clinical 'pods' at work.

I found this in our garden and thought it looked rather interesting, all the ears look like seed pods .

During the War Bonnet Round-up, we not only got to watch a rodeo, but also a brush fire grow from just a small little puff of smoke to a raging fire. By the time the rodeo was over and I headed home for my camera and tri-pod, the fire had spread to over 800 acres. There are a lot of homes in this area and the fire crews are watching over them. It will be a completely different view to wake up to in the morning. It's so tragic to see how quickly something like this can spread and cause damage. On a positive note, it was a nice photo moment.

Please check comment box for another shot of this fire.

I received this WONDERFUL mini quilt from Lorraine (Vid70) for the DS DQS #3! It's absolutely perfect, and the workmanship is amazing! Lorraine, I will treasure it always! Thank you!!!

Not sure what this plant is, but it has an interesting seed pod. Mill Lake, Abbotsford, B.C.

These winged seed pods fall to earth like helicopters descending gracefully.

South Stack Coastal Retreats, Green Apple Pod

After doing a bit of research into the best place to stay when taking photos of the Summer milkyway near Southstack i found this place. Its a fair sized pod/shed with a double bed+bathroom+porch area! its located less than a mile from southstack lighthouse within the grounds of the main B&B building. the best bit was not bothering anyone when i came back at 2am!! £55! Pretty sure its cheaper when its not during summer holidays though!

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.

Today's story and sketch "by me" we are in Sunny Southern Florida's favorite vacation destination Knobby's Wonder World, the theme park Knobby Gofish created by draining fifty square miles of Gator filled swamp, which is a story I have covered in many past episodes of the Rod Blog. Today though I am here at the "PST" Phalopian Stargate Transport terminal, the first intergalactic pod transport pick up and delivery, to and from the planet Voodoomus. Above you see a PST pod being piloted by Captain Bling, a former Moon Pie star freighter pilot who was forced into retirement, a Moon Pie company policy when pilots reach the age of 210. Below you see the PST Concierge a Gawanies Dung Beetle talking to a couple of living tissue Voodoo's who spent their honeymoon here at the Wonder World Honeymoon Hilton Village. The couple will board the Pod and be on their way, and will arrive at Voodoom in one hour and twenty minutes, if there is moderate traffic in worm hole 16, until next time taa ta the Rod Blog.

I spotted a large pod of pelicans at Mud Lake last Saturday. Monday, we went back. Didn't see any pelicans. Happy to see these pelicans today. .

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.

The pod--the pods. Beware of the pods! You could be talking to one and not even know it.

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
