Wordless Wednesday: Winter Milkweed

Almost Wordless: I have an endless fascination with Milkweed. I took this in a prairie near my house a few weeks ago.

    Love this shot — great depth of field. As you know, I’m drawn to seed heads.

    I’m laughing because you went for the plant shot this week and I did a bird. LOL.

    Hopefully that milkweed hosted some Monarch butterfly eggs at some point.

      I like to call it texture, but creepy gets the point across.

    I have to agree with caite. It’s a great photo, but it does give me an odd feeling.

      It looks like it’s been through a rough winter but it’s actually been pretty mild here.

    Milkweed isn’t the prettiest plant after it dies back for the winter, but some species are actually quite lovely when they’re in bloom!

    For some strange reason I’m really drawn to this photo. I think it’d look awesome hanging on a wall.
