I have a few more shots of milkweed to share over the next days, but I’ll be on the road for the better part of three days as I drive to Arizona to find a rental house for us. After being on the the road for almost ten hours for two days and eight or so the third, I won’t have much time for reading posts. As always, I’ll answer comments. I’ll be sharing photos that strike my fancy, so we’ll see what comes along. I’ll keep you updated and also, I hope, entertained.

I’m in love with this downed milkweed plant outside our house, watching it evolve day by day. This first stage is “tucked up.” The seeds are all in a row, waiting. They look like large-headed creatures dressed in silky white and all standing at attention.

This is the launch phase. The first seeds are leaving the pod, teased out by the wind, ready to dance through the air.

How many angels in a pod?
