This combo reminds me of a still life painting, where the green pod, empty pod, dried leaves and the fluffed up pod are artfully placed.

This group had a colorful photobomber.

These few seeds were slowly escaping, held back by entanglements inside the pod.

Even seeds can look like artwork 🙂
The lowly seed is really quite spectacular, Rudi!
I especially love the last photo!
Thanks, Donna! There were a lot of them, hard to choose which to shoot!
