moon-like

i started to clean up today for our departure on sunday.  while sweeping the terrace, i found several of these lunaria stems hiding in the corners and under the steps where the wind had carried them. i had photographed big, tall stems of these a few months ago, and apparently, i didn’t do a very good job of cleaning up after myself. lucky for me, i got a second opportunity to photograph these diminutive beauties. oh, by the way, the name latin name lunaria refers to the moon-like seedpods.
