The real flaw that would need to be fixed on this design is the gaps in the panels on the convex curves.
Another shot of a Lotus (Nelumbo) seed pod from a slightly different angle. Lighting from a Nikon SB-800 to camera right fitted with a home made soft box.

I was able to get a shot of the truck before he picked up the pod and I was ready this time.. LOL!!!
Leaf Beetle Pupae (Agasta sp., Chrysomelidae)
In a scene reminiscent of any number of Hollywood alien movies where the intrepid band of humans discover the mother alien's breeding den, a huddle of Chrysomelid beetle pupae dangle from the underside of a leaf.
The beetle larvae are grub-like prior to pupation, so as they develop and become more beetle-like, they contract inside their pupal skin giving this droplet shape.

The seed pods on my magnolia tree have begun to turn this beautiful, blushing shade of pink. At each black "frit" (follicle), there is a seed within the pod.
See below for the difference between this pod & a "brand new" one... I have always wanted to shoot a series of a blossom from my tree in its various stages. Since I have not achieved this (yet), please enjoy this wonderful site showing The Evolution of Magnolias.
I can't wait until Fall when the pods turn red!!! (and hopefully, much cooler so I can be outside more...) This shot is SOOC other than a slight WB adjustment and square crop...
Just a bit of fun with my two banksia seed pods which we were given to us from a dear now departed friend from his farm a few years back. They make good subjects for camera practice

We have an old tree out by our garage that is gnarled and withered. And every fall these pods dry up and hang with a texture that looks like old leather. And I couldn't think of anything else to shoot today.

14th-century roof structure, dominican church of St. Nicholas, GdaÅsk, August 5, 2012
The church of St. Nicholas is the only church not destroyed during the conquering of the city in 1945. Thus the timber beams of the roof structure were preserved.
Seed pods of the Velvetleaf. It also goes by several other names - Butterprint, Buttonweed, Piemarker, or Indian Mallow. It's an invasive weed that is native to southern Asia.
to be very clear, i dontā know what this is.
ok, i take that back. i do know what this is. itās a big black floating metal box sitting in the middle of a forest. to be more specifically clear: i donāt know why it exists.
i has no windows, nor does it have any plumbing or electricity. which leads me to the only rational conclusion one can come to when confronted with a big black metal box in the middle of the woods. which is: itās an alien observation pod. or condo.
but regardless of itās intended or unintended utility i posit that itās great architecture. i mean, if i were an architect (which, clearly, iām not) i would look at this big black metal box in the woods and say to myself, āwho, thatās coolā.
and i imagine many architects strive to make buildings and structures that are, simply, weird and cool. which seems like a noble and valid pursuit. i mean, of course architecture ideally would involve the creation of spaces that serve real world purposes and have nice quotidian functionality. but some architecture can also aspire to just be odd and interesting and cool. like this big black accidental box in the woods.
oh, i looked around for alien footprints but found none. but, of course, aliens are clever and would probably not leave obvious footprints. and/or they were hovering over the ground.&nb ssp;or both. i saw no hovering foot prints either. but to be honest, i donāt know what hovering foot prints would actually look like.

My boyfriend made the cats these pods, using Ikea baskets and sisal wrapped around cardboard tubing for fences. So far the cats only use them for scratching and not sleeping so I sprayed a ton of catnip on them. We'll see how it goes (they've only been there less than 24 hours).
