Yes, Ann, I did learn to do the Photoshop Elements 10 Text.... The poinciana that lives in a bucket and blesses us with red and yellow flowers has gone to seed... they look like art to me.
This shot is to show how ugly they are when they turn from green to brown, then they open in all sorts of shapes and twirls.
Your pod art is quite beautiful. I like even the ugly ones. The way they twist as they dry is very artistic. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWow, the flower is quite beautiful! Interesting shapes they turn out to make...cool pictures. Have a great day and Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteVery attractive pod photos...the flowers are gorgeous. From seed ...to flower....to pod and then all over again.
ReplyDeleteThose pods are just begging to be photographed. I love how they twist and turn,so very artistic. Wow.they are pretty.
ReplyDeleteBut of course, they look like Art!!! All one has to do, is stop long enough, to notice.
ReplyDelete"Camera People" stop and notice!!!
Mmmmm, a T-shirt saying?????? ,-)
"Auntie"
Love those photos of the pods. The flower looks a bit like an orchid.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Sandra, really enjoy the art you find in your backnyard and share through your creative photos. You do much to "show" everyone that art, color, and nature's beauty are all around just need to look in our own backyard, even.
ReplyDeleteJust turn that ugly into something cool! I like your art.
ReplyDeleteNature abounds with patterns, shapes and art. These are a great example.
ReplyDeleteYou have a yard full of art. Everything is interesting!
ReplyDeleteYou find the best things! I LOVE your blog! Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou know what I am thinking - if I took a picture of it with my camera it would be ugly and look like nothing - with your camera and the way it pops out - it is beautiful! sandie
ReplyDeletevery artful shots.
ReplyDeletethey remind me of mesquite beans. :)
Nature is an amazing artist, and I like that you see and photograph it us!
ReplyDeletecool art...they look like what grows on our Memosa trees here...when I was a kid I loved playing with then...pretend they were green beans..
ReplyDeleteEverything about this plant is interesting. The flowers are pretty, the
ReplyDeletepods are a beautiful colour inside and out when dry and they hang artistically.
Do the seeds fly out when the dry pod twists?
Sandra I know I sound like a broken record but you have the most creative eye and see beauty when most would not look twice!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs C
You do have an eye for turning dead leaves and flowers into art!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw a Poinciana was in the Holy Land. The tree was just bursting with beautiful blossoms.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing back a wonderful memory.
Love the artsiness of the pods.
I've not heard of this plant- but the flower is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice job on the pod art. The fresh ones look like peas in a pod of course and the flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFascinating photos, Sandra. Thanks so much for sharing the different stages.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend.
Nature is art...just look at the frond from your last post. Beauty and art in are in the eye of the beholder.:)
ReplyDeleteNice job on the pod art. The fresh ones look like peas in a pod of course and the flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI was staring at the first picture for a while because it is so cool and I thought oohhh she must have played with the text feature, then I scrolled down and it was like you read my mind....lol
ReplyDeleteThose are very cool looking and I don't think they are ugly at all once they turn brown. They have such character. Although I have to say the flower is gorgeous
these are all wonderful! they remind me of butter beans. :) I've got to take pics of your grandchildren. LOL
ReplyDeleteOnce again, creative captures of patterns, textures and shapes!Way to snap, Madsnapper!
ReplyDeleteYou share the most unusual plants with us. Do you like Elements 10?
ReplyDeleteThese are superb, you captured this pod with attitude. Snappy!
