Butterfly milkweed seed
A single milkweed seed dangling from the pod:
The seed had a bit of late afternoon light, I had to wait for the breeze to stop to get an image or two. From the same afternoon when I found the small milkweed but on another plant.
Nice going. You conquered the breeze, which is often a problem when photographing milkweed seed fibers.
As I wrote Steve G, it was a waiting game 🙂
What Steve said. I assume you were holding your breath the whole time.
I waited impatiently 🙂 Thanks, Steve!
Difficult cliché for you, but so amazing for us !!!🌞
Thanks – milkweed seeds are a great subject.
I’m as taken with the texture of the seed itself as with the fibers. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the seed surface in such detail.
