“Seeds Galore” – Queen Anne’s Lace

“I have always been caught by the pull of the unremarkable, by the easily missed, infinitely nourishing beauty of the mundane.”
― Tana French
A theme that keeps coming back to me is how much detail and beauty there is in mundane things. Generally, when Queen Anne’s Lace finishes blooming, I hardly notice them, until winter when the basket-like heads get coated in little snow ‘hats’.
It was not till I was composing this mage, that I noticed just how intricate the seeds of this common wildflower really are. The seeds look like multi-legged insects attacking the plant. Simply fascinating to look at and not lost in the background with this black background. So, have a look yourself, next time you are strolling along a path, you’ll never see it the same way again.

Very nice capture so effective with the black background.
Thank you. I’m finding it draws your attention to the subject.
It definitely does.
Amazing photo, and nice write-up. The quote by Tana French is so appropriate 🙂
Thanks Deb 🙂
Wow amazing it is. Never seen that before. I guess they don’t grow in north-europe?
I’m not sure. Also known as wild carrot.
