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

Seed Pod @ Lakeside

Medicine Park, OK

Seeds that didn't escape last year.

Very interesting looking seed pod from our daylily plants.

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!

with a sprinkle of rain.

This one empty and spent seed pod was good for dozens of photos; a beautiful subject.

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.

Dried out seed pod found on afternoon walk.

I like it's prickliness.

Found on a Broom seedpod. Unfortunately I don't have a clue who it belongs to. Any assistance on ID gratefully received.

This lotus will soon lose its petals and be nothing but a brown shell of a seed pod. the circle of life. There was just something very poignant about it. New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx, NYC -- September 17, 2020
