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.

This one has both the 'Flying Boom' along with wing-mounted Hose and Drogue pods...oh, and a yellow painted tail prop!

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!
Quién iba a decir que esas unidades de color azul volverían a rodar por la C-5 (y la antigua C-6), donde anteriormente eran omnipresentes en la vida diaria de los viajeros que tomaban el tren para poder conectar con Madrid desde poblaciones como Fuenlabrada, Leganés o Móstoles.
En 1996, la Asociación de Amigos del Ferrocarril de Madrid organizó un viaje especial por esta línea con una 440 de tres coches (108M-136R-101C). El pasado 28 de marzo, se repitió la experiencia. La 440.096 custodiada por la AAFM realizó una nueva salida después de su viaje a Ávila del día 19. Un trayecto no tan vistoso, pero sí de un gran interés desde el punto de vista de los aficionados por la línea a recorrer.
Toda una tarde surcando las entrañas del sur de la periferia de Madrid, entre bloques de edificios, almacenes, fábricas y calles mientras los viajeros o bien recordaban o bien conocían cómo se viajaba por esta línea hace más de veinte años. Al mismo tiempo, por toda la línea se iban moviendo grupos de aficionados, captando el paso de la unidad por diversos puentes, apeaderos y estaciones. Una pequeña aventura que duraría unas cuatro o cinco horas, hasta que la unidad dejó a sus últimos viajeros en la estación de Chamartín. Y hasta los siguientes viajes... Alhama de Aragón el 25 de abril, y Sigüenza el 21 de junio...
En la imagen, la "azulona", con un gran número de personas asomadas a través de sus ventanillas, atraviesa a una moderada velocidad la zona de Arroyo Culebro, una vez dejado atrás el apeadero de Parque Polvoranca y con destino Humanes.

Macro Mondays 'In the mirror' theme.
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

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.
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!

Day 1 of PentaxForums Daily in April 2023
Walking around on the east side of the river we found this garden restaurant just under Charles' bridge. This is an area with a lot of tourists, however I managed to get a fairly clean shot with only the crew of the small boats travelling on Čertovka (Devil's Channel).
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.
