Moss Capsules

April 13, 2022 § Leave a comment

I finally found some moss capsules to photograph and then will try to draw <gulp>. The capsules hold the pollen and this found broken clump will eventually go into my terrarium.

For a few days I thought I might have lost 20 years of photographs. Hopefully this has been resolved. My felicia plant did not flower all summer, but now that I have brought it inside for the winter it is producing it’s tiny blue blooms. I softened the photo a bit as I was playing around with my new version of Lightroom.

I didn’t know that forget me not flowers emerge from a spiral. Double good since I love spirals and blue flowers.

Looking for any clue that spring is arriving. I love the subtle colors of this budding branch and hope to figure out what kind of tree it is once the leaves come out.

My parlor palm is fruiting for the first time. Supposedly I could plant the fruits and have many palms. Once again, my houseplants like the fact that all the trees have been cut down, I do not.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of lichen. Here’s a variety on a bench.

While throwing sticks for my dog, I noticed this cup like lichen and decided to bring it home to photograph.

Forgetting that I am allergic to grass, I thought I would bring some of my neighbor’s ornamental grass inside for macros. After taking a few photos, I realized this was a very bad idea.

Where Am I?
