i was trying to get shots of the swifts on Kiveton Colliery park, but they kept dropping into the meadows of this long grass and these strange seed pods, now empty and rattling drily in the stiff, warm wind

(Medicago lupulina), June 5 08

Seed pods can have interesting textures and colors. They also say something important about spring.

I got carried away with these seedpods...

Yucca seedpods from last year. No flowers till June. If you do not want to get out of the car to do a macro, you can use your 800mm lens, like I did for this picture.

Asclepias Verticillata. The seedpods are long and slender, no thicker than a pencil.
