Another Stansted forest find: This is an empty husk of a sweet chestnut, which has fallen from the tree. Check out the PiP to see another that is in much better condition, taken in Autumn.

I noticed this Sycamore seed had lodged itself into the top of a rotting fence post in my garden. The lens I used is not strictly a macro lens, but it does have a macro setting which is pretty good for this sort of subject!

I'd never heard of this plant until my neighbours cut one down and were going to thrown the remains in the bin. It was cut down because apparently it had never flowered. On investigation it seems the Moonflower is a species of night-blooming Morning Glory, native to tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, so it's not surprising it didn't like being in southern England :-)) Anyway, before it went in the bin, I snipped off two seed pods, one of which I cut in half and this photo is what it looks like, inside and out. This is about twice life size. In the PiP is an even closer shot of the seeds. Thanks for looking.

This is "helicopter style" seed pod which fell into my garden from one of the Lime trees that are just the other side of my back garden fence. Taken indoors and photographed on an A4 sized LED light panel.

I really like the contrasting green and brown colours in this shot :-)

Processed in ON1 using one of their textures to get the grungy background. I think it looks better viewed large, on black.

Also known as Nigella. Inside the seed head.

From an Alder Tree, I think.
