Performance by Mother Nature

A milkweed pod opening and seeds floating away with the wind

I found this pod during a walk in a State Park. A storm was approaching with strong winds. A filter was added from Smart Photo to give a more dramatic touch.

  FIRST PLACE! YAH BABY YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ALWAYS stayed attached to this image just so I can see it again and again. It looks so much like an oil painting to me and perhaps done by a Native Indian. It's so Mother Earth and beautiful!

Ethereal. That's the word I wanted to express!

A big FAV of mine!
