It's been a few months of complete lack of motivation for photography, and almost no opportunities to take photos. So today I ventured out on a regular walk from my place - first time with a camera for a while. There wasn't anything 'new' that I thought i'd photograph - I kind of resigned myself to enjoy taking lots of images of the regular cormorants who own the rocky outcrops of the Taroona foreshore. So I did and it felt good.
But then on the way back, just after i'd swapped out the 400mm lens for a 24-70mm lens a large pod of dolphins and seals swam up to the foreshore, right in front of me!! So with a quick fumble of changing back to a big tele lens (and all the wrong camera settings you have in this kind of scenario) I managed to get some images! There's quite a few good images that i'll process in the next week or so.
This is the first year our Itoh Peony flowered and was very surprised at the size of these seed pods!!
Itoh peonies, with their spectacular flowers and beautiful colors are a gift to gardeners everywhere.
Itoh peonies originated by crossing herbaceous peonies and tree peonies, and they combine the best features of each. While they have the mounded growth habit of herbaceous peonies and die back to the ground in winter, they also produce immense flowers like tree peonies.
Sumac red seed pods remain on plants into winter, providing emergency non-toxic food for birds. Only the female plants have the seed clusters.
many seeds for next year on the Swamp Milkweed!
Don't forget... PLANT MILKWEED to help the Monarchs!!
El otoño, en según qué lugares, todavía no se nota, hay pequeñas pinceladas o está desapareciendo.
Aquí, vemos los restos del hayedo que están dejando caer sus últimas hojas, por efecto del viento, la lluvia y la nieve, en la ladera de la montaña.
En los contornos de los prados, todavía podemos ver algunos árboles mostrándonos sus hojas con el bello colorido del otoño.
Se encuentran en el margen derecho del camino que nos lleva a los "teitos" de La Pornacal en Somiedo.

Has anyone ever seen a banana pod before?
I hadn't!
Enjoy this specimen which was hanging in
the old greenhouse we visited on Thursday!
This 400-year-old saman or monkey pod tree is on the grounds of Romney Manor, St. Kitts, Eastern Caribbean.
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.
El Águila real (Aquila chrysaetos), una de las rapaces más grandes de la península ibérica y de las que cuando la puedes observar a corta distancia muestra un aspecto de poder y fuerza. Momento que no se olvida nunca y produce esa admiración.
The Royal Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), one of the largest birds of prey in the Iberian peninsula and from which you can observe it at close range shows an aspect of power and strength. Moment that is never forgotten and produces that admiration.

This seed pod made it all the way from Santa Barbara to Scotland. Amazing shape and structure. Macro made from 16 images.
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!
