12 March - shiny thing

Can never remember what these are called - but was having a potter
round the garden in the glorious sunshine (my face even went a bit pink
it was that warm today!) and found a few of these left.

And please tell me it's Pbase that's sooooo slow and not my internet connection...?

Cool composition, the background works superbly to add a splash of colour.
Guest 13-Mar-2007 01:57

Nice use of bokeh here. It really adds to the image.

looks like it's on fire! neat use of the background (daffs?)

Great shot of the Honesty seed pod. I love them.
Pbase was murder.
Ric Yates12-Mar-2007 22:28
Great DOF and background.

Pbase has been terrible all evening but seems to have improved now.
J. Scott Coile12-Mar-2007 21:48
Well juxtaposed as the new ushers in the spring in the background!

L o v e l y s h o t, N i c k y !Glad I am not the only one with problems,
it is very slow again now!!!

Glad it's pbase going slow, I was beginning to think it was my laptop that was going weird. Used to have this plant in my garden too, it's so lovely when it's dried up like this. Nice and shiny in the bright sunlight !

Nice Honesty seed, but it doesn't look happy does it?
Rose Atkinson12-Mar-2007 19:31
Lovely light ! Beautiful close-up
Zak12-Mar-2007 19:25
Nice find!
Carole Stevens12-Mar-2007 19:23
Beautiful macro Nicky, such a delicate seedpod!
Jola Dziubinska12-Mar-2007 19:14
Lovely capture. This looks like a sad face, Nicky.
Ian York12-Mar-2007 19:03
A silvery Honesty - lovely
Tricia12-Mar-2007 18:40
It is a lovely image with the yellow behind Nicky, I call it Honesty, but think in USA they call it a silver dollar and YES PBase is working at snail's pace and having got myself a new router yesterday I also wondered whether it was me but other web sites are working well.
beverley harrison12-Mar-2007 18:38
silver penny!! i wish i could have been pottering in the garden today!!
Lee Rudd12-Mar-2007 18:37
you have a metal tree! and yes, pbase is slow
Linda Alstead12-Mar-2007 18:36
Honesty is what it is! Or, to be more technical (only because I have my RHS bible open by my desk) Lunaria L annua - lovely!
Guest 12-Mar-2007 18:32
it looks like a mask, beautiful.
sue anne12-Mar-2007 18:16
Nicky, I grew these a few times. We call them the silver dollar plant. Nice :)
Make nice for drying out and putting them in a flower decoration set up.
