Milkweed

A plentiful and interesting subject. The flowers weren't much this year because it was drier than usual. The seed pods were a bit more scarce. The usual display of fluff happened later than usual. But they're always entertaining.

Cool captures, I especially like the second one.

Thanks, JAS. I spent a lot of time playing with that second plant, different angles, letting the sun spark colors and so on. Got some interesting results.

I like the second one as well.

Me too, I like the second one best. Like the lighting on the fluff.

Two nice shots. Hard to pick a favourite here!

Really like the second one, especially the lighting.

Thank you, Bambi, Realist, aubintbay and asnow. I'm hoping for better flowers this spring.

I like the clarity of the 2nd shot

Another vote here for that second one. Love the detail and lighting.

Thanks, MA and HBG. It's always nice when I get the strands in focus, too. Hard sometimes.
