Glowing Seed Pod

A few months ago, Steve and I went to visit a friend our ours who lives on a lovely piece of property on the edge of Oregon and California. She and her husband have an amazing garden and landscaping, and I have had the opportunity to spend two afternoons taking pictures there.

Down by one of their Koi ponds are a few of these interesting trees which are simply COVERED with seed pods. I was fascinated by their shape and awesome textures, and wondered if I would be able to capture the glow of one with the sun's rays shining through it. To my immense delight, I was successful, and in fact, its possible to see the seeds inside!!
