Last year's beauty

The shape and texture caught my attention. I don't know what plant it is or why the birds didn't eat it. Great for shooting on a gloomy rainy day.

I had to look carefully to see if they were: animals in a state of decomposition, or something artificial..., but then I was surprised, flowers!
Good photo capture

[Mags]

Amazing tones and textures! I'm fascinated by it... It looks like some strange spiders but it's not.

[PhotoCrazy]

Wonderful, creepy image!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Amazing tones and textures of this decomposing flowe/seed head!

[Milanie]

Super textures

[Heather]

This is almost acrobatic looking- a scene from nature's circus! Well done to notice and capture this so well! Fav

[Babs]

It still looks beautiful even in its dying days.

[Corinne C]

Fabulous!

[Christine Sztukowski]

[Islandgirl]

[FBailey]

Beautiful shot

[Kathy]

A mystery. They almost look like alien beings caught in a trap.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It sort of looks like Rose Hip to me (as far as I. D. goes). As for the picture the plants have an almost human like quality- like acrobats caught in their safety net!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

those textures are wonderful

[Wylie]

terrific shapes.

[Issi Bannerman]

Most splendid textures and shapes.

[Brian]

Well spotted and so creatively captured.

[Mona]

This is beautiful from the tones, to the textures and how you presented it. My guess would be Atropa belladonna, deadly nightshade. Maybe going back in late spring will bring some light into this puzzle.
