When Plants Go To Seed ~ The Next Phase Of Beauty

Another find in a Field......Now that fall if officially upon us, the plants realize this as well. Going to seed is that beautiful final stage of life for the majority of plants on earth. Their reason for existing to reproduce oneself is a high priority. Or as we know it the plant will cease to exist. As I take the time to look at things from a different perspective with my camera, I have come to notice the small things. The simple things in life and I'm finding I'm more and more interested and intrigued I become. This is just one plant I found very interesting as it prepares to release it's future to the wind. Do you notice the small...if not walk around your yard with your camera...you might be amazed.

  2. Lovely Crista. I've also noticed, for the first time, that my Aloes have got a lot of 'seed pods' where the flowers used to be. Also all because of photographing them when in flower. You're right, the camera does give us a different perspective.

  6. Blogging and taking photos makes me so much more aware of what is around me. Beauty is found in so many little things that we would normally ignore. These are lovely shots.
