Raising the Bar by daisymiller

Raising the Bar

Today was the anniversary of the birth date of my late father in law. He showed me by his example to "raise the bar" by setting my goals high. We remembered him today by telling stories about his life. This is a highly edited macro image of an empty milkweed pod. The "bar" runs down the center of the inside of the pod. The golden background is the inside of the pod.
Fascinating !

Great symbol for someone who was a source of inspiration for you.

Well who would know the colour is that inside a pod! I like the saying, 'raise the bar'!

@beryl Thanks. I just happened to see this, as I looked up at all of the milkweed pods.

@olivetreeann Thank you. My father in law had a lot of flaws, but I think he was a great man. I learned a lot from his example.

@maggiemae Thanks. The true color inside the pod is more muted than this. The color is more like a light tan, but takes on a subtle golden tone with back lighting. This image is highly processed (for me, anyway).
