Uploaded by: JourneysEnd — Thursday November 1, 2012 — Henry County, IL

When we were kids growing up in rural Henry county, Illinois, we had great fun setting the silky seeds of the milkweed free to float away in the breeze. This particular pod lost two as I stopped to photograph it along the Hennepin Canal Parkway this morning...

Oh gosh, Larry, does that look like a white-haired witch with a bony claw for a hand! (Letting my imagination run wild here.)

Oh yeah, Larry!
This DOES it for me, anyway!
Perfect subject for B&W.
Tonal range just includes all the tones from black to white, Betsy. Ideally, you want to try to have the greatest variety of tones in a B&W image.

Update: AC congrats!

Beautiful, beautiful capture! I love milkweed, and have it growing all along my driveway for the Monarch butterflies.

About JourneysEnd
JourneysEnd My name is Larry and when I retired I added photography as a hobby to my "pre-existing conditions" of gardening, fishing and fly tying. Most of my amateur photo work has centered around our gardens at our modest wooded property we call, Journey's End. I'm just having some fun "practicing my art" and not getting too serious about things. I hope you enjoy the photos that I post here from time to time as much as I enjoy all those posted here by so many talented and friendly people! Best wishes...
