Field of Milkweed
There was a lot of Milkweed in this unmown field and a touch of fall foliage around the perimeter.
In the hour or so I was there the sky clouded up.
The breeze lifted a few seeds up and away, but it was not very dramatic.
Looking into the corner of the field a Blue Jay zipped into a tree.

Milkweed Seeds Dancing
These Milkweed seeds had broken out of their pod but weren’t getting away.
It was breezy, but not enough to set the seeds free while I was watching.
Another perspective, looking down on the cluster.

Milkweed Seeds Busting Out
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.

Texas Star Hibiscus at Long White Bridge
Red Texas Star Hibiscus is about the only plant in bloom near the iconic Long White Bridge at Magnolia Plantation right now.
The individual flowers make quite a presentation, and generally there is only one bloom at a time on a stalk.
I looked for insect occupants but didn’t find any this time out.
