Pods, or seeds, or blossoms, or whatever they're called. Both taken yesterday. Birch Pods  Nikkor 200/4 on Canon 300D Willow Pods  Nikkor 85/2 on Canon 300D Gene |

Really nice DOF effects in both Gene.
Over here we call them catkins. They are actually flowers - you got a lady and a gent by the looks of things !
Regards - John
ps - For some reason my pc is having difficulty pulling up the first one - had to refresh 3 times before it appeared. Strange

John: You know more about birch pods...er flowers....er whatever than I'll ever know. Our 3-year-old grandaughter calls 'em "caterpillers." Do you have to lift up their tails to determine their sex?  |
