Distracted


I was set to clean out the cupboards in our laundry room.


Then I discovered the bag of milk weed pods I'd stashed away from this fall.


I couldn't resist pulling a few out for a little photo session.


These seeds and pods....♥♥♥


A broken binding from an old book plays very well with them.


I edited them with Kim Klassen's *Friday* Lightroom Preset from her sampler collection.  I have so much to learn in Lightroom yet.  But, I am determined to get there.  Or at least there enough that I don't get lost while I'm in there. That would be a marked improvement.


I already have jars of pods so I'm not sure what I'll do with these.  Which is why they were stuffed in a sack in a cupboard in the first place.  Hopefully, I don't go put them back in there. Ha!

We've used the pods in projects over the years, once as the manger for a little needle felted baby Jesus, once as a swing in this fairy garden my daughter made.  I'd love to hear more ideas of how to use the pods.

  2. These are beautiful shots. The first one reminds me of baby birds (we have babies on the mind!).

    pods had opened. lol Took hours to collect the thousands of seeds. Still have the pods.
