Abstract Pods in the garden

Pods in the garden · 07:04 PM

Still not able to travel too far and my DA 50 1.8 arrived so I had to find something to shoot. Here are a few to share. Some are very cropped.

very nice captures Joi, I especially like the 2nd photo, shows the sharpness and lovely bokeh of the lens.

Thanks Bob. I'm pretty happy with the first few shots!

You should be happy with all the shots, each is focused where it should be and all have great Bokeh.

Very nice.

Just don't go to sleep anywhere near them.

Why thank you - I only sleep in the garden in the summer - or at least it feels like I do

Thank you! Are you a beach gardener or are those maybe your favorite things? I often end up shooting in my garden as I can always find something there. If you like garden photography you should check out eaglem for some beautiful shots!

We had to dig him out from under the most peculiar things I ever saw.

What things?

Well, I don't know what they are; I never saw them before. They looked like great big seed pods.
