Small bits of color attracted me on an October walk around Magnolia Plantation and Gardens with my 180mm Macro lens.

Viewing a Magnolia seed pod at eye level reveals texture, color, and some intrigue as the red seeds were beginning to appear.

Early Camellias had bloomed, this one with a robust center.

Yet another single swamp sunflower bloom that I couldn’t resist.

You’ve found some colourful curiosities Ellen! ~fascinating.
Glad you liked them, Liz! We are headed to that same area in just a bit, we had a hard frost last night so it will be interesting to see what color there might be today.
