Description
I'm a follower of Milk Weed. During the summer, its pods are beginningto form and have a light greenish color. It isn't until Fall and Winter...and Spring, that we
notice the beautiful dispersing of its seed. Luckily, I carry my phone with me as I walk
around this lake. And I needed to lie on the ground to include that beautiful, blue Fall
sky, as a simple backdrop to this marvelous plant, the likes of which pertain to no other.

Possibly one of the most interesting and striking photographs I have ever seen. I actually thought it was a mixed media collage. This is stunning!! My wife had the same reaction. How do I get a copy of this?

Hello again TOM ~ I'll get back to you with
some thoughts on your request. This has not happened
to me much. I'm glad you enjoy the photo and of course
I have no objection to downloads> converting to Photoshop
docs if necessary and printing out smaller copies ~ to your
liking. I can print a quality 7-color Epson Printer 13x19"
print (no bleed), on a quality paper. This gets a little more
expensive, but I'm not beyond you making me an offer for
a quality print (probably not under say, $40, but I'll be in touch!

Interesting that you use the word 'action'. The seeds in upper
right were indeed blowing in the wind, but hadn't let go yet. I just
waited until they were standing up...then fired! THANK
YOU SO MUCH...

He.he. I don't know this plant. I said action because to me it looked like that moment when a seed pod explodes and the seeds burst forth. I have seen it on nature progrms. I thought wow you clicked that camera at just the right moment

That looks so wonderful!....Popping seeds are truly one of the wonders of the world!!

I've painted them and taken photos...but most of
all, I'm just glad they're around where we live, so we can
enjoy them...especially when they POP open as you say.
Our Sunday is sunny and chilly. Winter is ON THE WAY!!!
take care Tricia..

We are just waiting to see if the hurricane that has been forecast for coming in through the night is reaching as far as us...Winds mean it could reach us....I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't The last one like this blew down some of our oldest trees.....and caused structural damage....Mainly around the coastline..but you know how ferocious winds can travel!!It isn't cold and we have had sunny spells today...I guess it's going to be a noisy night!

You guys have hurricanes too?
Oh WOW! But not too seriously...
I hope,

We were o'k...Just lots of rain in the North of England!..Two people died when trees fell on their cars....but that was in the South....All the southwest and Southeast of England have power supply troubles and lots of debris!Planes are grounded and the roads are waterlogged so traffic is not doing so well!!

Soooooo, your crazy weather continues.
We have been lucky ~ but living in the mid-continent
helps a bit.Β Β Β We saw The Fifth Estate yesterday
with Benedict Cumberbatch, about Wikileaks. He's
become quite the phenom!!!

We saw the videos from Belgium
and Southern England. People were being blown down the street in Belgium. Horrible!....

It did gain momentum on the other coast reaching over a hundred miles an hour.....It did rain all night last night but the wind was not too bad!Four people have died here due to the hurricane.It looks far worse on the French coast!
