a freebie
My husband and I have been repairing a deck at one of our rental properties this week. While I has cleaning the job site, my chosen role, I saw this still-fully-intact cottonwood catkin on the ground and pocketed it. When I got home I placed it beside my computer and promptly forgot about it. Until it exploded. So I gingerly picked it up and placed it on my black background. I love this photo. And the ease with which it happened.

Although it’s a totally different plant, it has a similar vibe to the recent smokebush post, huh? I think wind sown is my favorite seed dispersal method, how about you? But exploding seed pods are pretty cool also…
