More seed pods

April 23

Here is another version of the fluttering seed pod, this time with two wings to help it fly away from its home tree. This tree that looks red and orange in the sun is now eggplant and brown in the shade. The pink to green of the seed pods fascinates me. Where do these colors come from?

Today is another perfect day. My little one has the hose on and is watering the deck and herself. I step inside to get something and yes, she directs the hose inside too. Ah, my dear little water sprite, I remember being just like you. "The hose has to stay outside," I say. She looks at me with a wry smile. I shut the door and she carries on watering the side of the house.
