“Say ‘ahhh’!”

This is a look inside one of the buds from yesterday. http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2011-03-25
I’m thinking of pod people and “Little Shop of Horrors”...
(It's actually a dogwood; thanks, Tari!)

@digitalrn @harley84 @angelique @glendq @angievega @jendee3 @exposure4u @michelleyoung @oneinodd Thank you, all, for your kind comments and a fav! Your comments make the "extra trip" worthwhile! It was raining when I was nearby, but when the rain cleared later in the day, I went back to shoot the few open buds!

This is a cool macro shot. Looks kind of alien like

@mrgtrueman Thanks, Graham! That's what I was going for! I shot it "landscape", but thought it looked better with a "portrait" orientation!

@sitiodown I figured this out today! I was curious what these pods would look like today, so I paused where I took this shot and (1) I noticed how the petals were lying flat. (2) When I saw your photo again, I realized that these couple of shots of mine are dogwoods. Thanks, Tari!! ( @appealswoman And thank you, Deb!)
