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 4ā5 cm/1.57-1.97 inch long and broad. NOT lens distortionāthe plant dried and squished into the ground.

Thanks for looking.
Artist Rose B. Simpson
Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. Simpson created the Pod series while at the Rhode Island School of Design working on her master's degree. She built each piece in one studio session. Each figure is an imperfect, fragile patchwork of components and influences as are human beings.
The actual sculpture is displayed nearby.
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!

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Topaz Clarity for additional boost in color and contrast.

This is a beautiful arrangement of dried plants in a silver vase. Taking advantage of the soft morning light filtering through a window into my sister's condo, I used a 50mm lens to take this shot, using a wall as the background. It was taken in southwestern Florida during a recent visit there.

This pod was one of the first to form on our tree this year. Most of the time it looked like the immature pod in the preceding shot.

Enjoy this specimen which was hanging in
