Gossamer Threads
"The milkweed pods are breaking, And the bits of silken down Float off upon the autumn breeze Across the meadows brown."
I want one of these to play with my new camera. i enlarged it twice and it looks like an angel hair tree decorated with ornaments, each little seed pod hanging perfectly on it.
Each of your posts is like a jewel, seen close up in all its glory...concentrating on the finest details, and words added to polish it all to a lovely sparkle.

So pretty! Haven't found any here yet but I'm looking.
that's a gogeous thing! I don't think that we have that in Penketh?
Would it grow here?
Yes Gerry, it is a native plant of England also.
It attracts Monarch Butterflies.
There's an interesting article in today's Daily Mail Online.
