Pods . . . . but you won't grow a beanstalk from these . . .

These pods make lovely whooshing noises as the are blown together in the breeze and are the seed pods from the albitzia tree. I'll post a photo of the flowers later because you may call it my another name in your part of the world.

So,  this is my TEXTURE TUESDAY entry this week.



I used the textures "and then some" and "serious magic"







These are the flowers strutting their stuff this summer.

Pretty aren't they.

Hope everyone's week has started well . . . .we're having a lovely spell of Autumn weather . . . . sunshine but not hot . . . . .just perfect for getting out and about . . . of course that's why I've been on the computer for most of the time  !!

 Love Teresa xx:-)

  4. Lovely and a change from flowers, but I still look forward to those as well. The pods say Judastree but the leaves tell a different story. Wishing you a happy November with many days of your kind of weather.

  7. As always your photos and edits are awesome! These trees must be a sight toehold when they are in bloom. Love your work...

  8. Beautiful, Teresa! love the lighting in this photo and the way you textured it. We had a beautiful vine growing on the front of the house where we used to live in AZ that had pods similar to these, but they had a hard shell, no sunlight would have come through. And the blooms were very different!

  10. Interesting pods and you have showcased them very well. The texture works perfectly. Love the flowers that it bears too. Very pretty. I bet the sound is very pleasing to hear from the pods.

    It's lovely with the light coming through.

  12. I love the way the sunlight shows the little seeds inside the pods.

    We have a few planted along some of our side streets, We call ours Crested wattles.

  15. Lovely!!! I really enjoy being part of a world-wide community--it is fascinating to see all the different kinds of plants that grow in someone else's back yard. Your image of the seed pods is so well done - I love the back lighting.
