Red seed pods of a Dogwood
Kousa dogwood, Cornus kousa
Cornus is a genus of about 30–60 species of woody plants in the family Cornaceae, commonly known as dogwoods, which can generally be distinguished by their blossoms, berries, and distinctive bark.the tiny four-petaled flowers are clustered in a tightly packed, flattened cyme at the center of four showy white petal-like bracts. Most are deciduous trees or shrubs, but a few species are nearly herbaceous perennial subshrubs, and a few of the woody species are evergreen. Several species have small heads of inconspicuous flowers surrounded by an involucre of large, typically white petal-like bracts, while others have more open clusters of petal-bearing flowers. The various species of dogwood are native throughout much of temperate and boreal Eurasia and North America, with China and Japan and the southeastern United States particularly rich in native species.

Some seedpods I found next to the road. Put them on a green back/underground and took four shots (focussing on the 3 pods and the little leaf right, in life view mode), stacked them and blackened the green background afterwards. (Still visible in the reflections in the pods)
I won't go on and on with seed pods and snow, but here is another early macro photo.

This one is called money plant, it has pink flowers and it seeds and grows on the North side of my house. One of the early bloomers in the Spring. This is my kitchen window, and the fall leaves are reflected in it, and it is dirty :( but makes a photo I like.
These are the luminescent shells that remain after the seeds fall out, but it is really beautiful w the seeds too.

please see large :)
I never through that I would do it, but I purchased a macro lens: a Tamron 90mm. This is my first shot, or close enough. Handheld, manual focus, slightly cropped on right and left. The pods are on the Silk Lilac tree on my front lawn. I stepped through the snow to get this in a small breeze.

Backlit husks of last spring's flowers in late afternoon light. Though these lanterns aren't at all typical seedpods--each was formed by the calyx, which is usually the outer, green part of a flower--some of them probably retain the seeds. Here's what they look like in flower: www.flickr.com/photos/marlinharms/28481067678
Pronounced tie-tie, this native tree grows to about 12-15 feet in swampy areas in the south, and although it can be evergreen in warm climates, locally it loses its leaves in the fall. My only pov faced into the sun, so sliders to the rescue!
I found these unusual seed pods walking around the trails at the South Texas Botanical Gardens in Corpus Christi, TX. I have no idea what the plant is, I couldn't find a label.
