Macro Monday

The other day, while walking the dogs, I came upon a front yard strewn with magnolia seed pods. I've always thought they were beautiful, so I scooped up a bagful to use for fall decorations. I love how they're both fuzzy and sharp!

The first photos is my Macro Monday contribution, thanks Lisa. I thought I'd show the others, to show how wonderful they are.




This is the whole bowl full; and I didn't even take them all! No, I left some for other collectors.

  2. They are awesome! I don't think I've ever seen them... I have seen the trees - in full bloom! They're gorgeous - but I don't recall seeing the seed pods. Very nice!

  7. These are going to make a wonderful exciting decoration. How lucky to find something like this for free. Around here we would have to pay for them.
