This was captured yesterday morning. I had perfect backlighting to make this seedhead translucent. Shows how this plant turns into a basket to hold the seeds...also I must mention that there was no wind yesterday morning which made perfect conditions to shoot these plants..

I can't believe how patient you are. You never did confirm the "stickler for detail" comment I made. lol You'd be having a rough time around here, the wind's been blowing for a week. That basket is just awesome. Your photo implants vision of this in one's mind. Better than words. Great pair of posts Gerry.

The background colors are so smooth and gorgeous and in grand contrast to the "basket" effect that the plant is giving its seeds. I've never seen them look like this before. I guess I must not have been looking as hard as you have been, Mr. P!

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
What I find so attractive about this image is the contrast between the soft pastel colors with those of flower gone to seed. Very nice detail too. Gerry, you sure know how to take something so simple & present it so beautifully. Excellent work.

You are certainly making the best of what is left out at Ojibway Gerry, loving all your stuff lately.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Very nice indeed, good composition and good colour.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
I like this one especially, Gerry. The whole shot is very colorful. I have never seen one of these. Good work with the macro, again.

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I do not get to your pictures as soon as you post them, I apologize. I try. Also if I do not respond for awhile it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it just means I'm really tied up with life. Bene lava!!
