Yet Another Weird Seed Pod Thing

This little deal fell off of a local tree, it's soft and fuzzy and seems to have tiny seeds in it. It's about 2cm long and of course looks strange when we look up close!

Pumpkin Berries, Just in Time for the Fall

Here is the stem of an odd plant we found while at the park. This stem is only about the width of a nickel. The plant had little green berries that resembled tiny pumpkins, and much smaller flower-like blooms with a very small berry inside. Violet crushed one of the berries and it contained a black gooey seed and smelled strongly of green peppers.

Weird Beach Thing #1

Here's a thing our friends found on the beach, and suggested for a Morning Macro post. It appears to me to be a sort of coral or barnacle. It looks like a white rock with these segmented pockmarks, which I assume are the homes of the little beasties who made the thing.

Weird Seedy Flowery Things

Violet and I made it our mission today to find tiny things at the park that we could shoot in macro. So we searched through rocks and leaves and flowers, and found the strange thing above.

It appears to be a strange seed case or flower bud or something. We like that it is fuzzy. It's actually quite small, which made examining it at the park a little difficult. But we were pretty sure it would be cool when we photographed it. When magnified, it looks like a ball with bed head.

I'm going to try to include a small reference image for my macro shots, as you can see to the left. This will help you to get a better idea of the size of the things we are looking at close up.

Below is another photo of the weird bed head ball.

Then, we found something that looked like the bed head ball, cracked open and blooming. I don't know if it actually is a next-stage bed head ball or what, but that's what our imagination has decided. You can see this below and judge for yourself! Here's the reference image of the weird bed head ball flower, to the left.

More of the Alien Fungus Farm

Another old one, well not that old. It's from August '08 in Muskoka, Canada.

Found these odd little guys on a decaying railroad tie. I love the variety among these fungi, and the wicked colors. Chartreuse, and piney green and white and candy apple red. I hope I see them again with my latest lens setup, so I can get closer... see what these are made of.

These remind me a little of the old Snorks cartoon.

Alien Life Forms

This is one of several photos I took of a bizarre fungal forest in Muskoka, Canada.

These little fungi looked like alien plant life; strange branchy things, something that looked like a tiny evergreen, odd Snork-like things with red bulbous ends. I loved how strange these little stands of fungus were.

As for size, they were only about 9mm high. This was shot in daylight using my 18-125mm and a macro filter attachment.
