more Softly erotic than the last one in the series, I think, even if you didn't tag this one that way.

These fragile travellers are erupting with energy!

thanks for the reminder, Wayne. I was getting sleepy last night when I posted and tagged this latest series. I've added the tags ;-))

I agree with you 100% about the softness of this one -- and how it's, in a way, more erotic than the other, which has very little blur (compared to this one)

And I love how these seeds are still clinging to the pod, to those "hooks" on the outside and the ruffles in the center of the pod. As if they're reluctant to leave. Just yet.

Or waiting for the perfect sigh of wind to carry them far. And yes, the energy -- the potential for flight!

Maureen, I wanted to let you know something kinda funny. When this picture was featured on UBC BPotD, I came to look at your photostream and was completely captivated. I was amazed that someone could live their lives so simply and beautifully and with so much creativity and art interwoven. I decided that I wanted to live my life with photography in it. I wanted to create beauty every day. That feeling sat with me for a long time.

One day I was reading your blog or looking at your pictures and I had a thought that you reminded me of someone else I knew from the online world. A woman named Shag from GardenWeb. Well, then it hit me, of course. And it was kind of a wow because you were inspirational to me there as well.

So fast forward to the present and I've been Flickring for while now. And I take pictures every day. My camera is my companion. I saw your comments on one of my contact's pics and thought I'd come say "Hi". I very much enjoy your pictures! Thank you for sharing!
