I just got back from a photo excursion with a friend of mine where we spent 5 days in Southern Utah trying to capture all kinds of images. One of the many beautiful and interesting finds were these THREE dried out bud shells. I have no idea what the flowers that come out of them look like, but the shells left behind are sure interesting. I love the colors inside. They remind me a lot of the stratified hills and rocks in that area.
I took over 2000 exposures on this excursion. Of course many of them are duplicates such as bracketing or a very slightly different angle or zoom in or out. But I am excited to share a lot of them on my blog over the next few weeks and months.

Those are interesting looking... great capture!
I like this photo. plants in decline or dead can be as interesting ass those in full bloom.
Sounds like a super fruitful photo excursion. And if even 1/100th of your photos are as good -- if not better -- than the one you've put up in this entry... :)
So dry looking, and lovely colouring too, as you say.
it's still standing eh? great shot you have here. :)
Very interesting take on the theme. By the way, how about making your font larger or a different background...hard to read for we "old " people..LOL
Mine's up, too.

Sounds like a great trip. I am jealous. My photo is here http://rivercityfoodwine.blogspot.com/
This is a great choice for the theme...Happy hunting.
Gorgeous.
There's a real 'sepia' effect to the photo, like an 'old-timey' photograph that lends a special feel to it.
Another great photo. Anxious to see some of the other ones from your trip.
interesting photo. with El Nino, lots of vegetation would eventually look like this.
Lots of plants and flowers for this "three-theme", but I love them all. Your mysterious plant is very interesting. Maybe someone that knows a lot about botany will leave a comment and help you. It happened to me. That was how I became aquainted with Jakill of Jean's Musings. She helped identify a flower for me.
You do such amazing work! I look forward to seeing more from this excursion. I barely get out of the house to take my pics!
Happy Weekend!

aloha,
those are beautiful shots...i love your interpretation of the theme three and put this striking photo the seed pods, nice captures!
Love the brown pods - they really do capture that southern Utah feel (my human has been there, and has shown me pictures). That part of the US is pure eye candy for photographers.
nice shot of three!!
Great shot for the theme and I'm sure the seeds will bring forth many more flowers.
funny how something so lack in bright colors can be so interesting to look at. Such a great shot. Love the three! I enjoy your blog.
What a great shot! Mom can take 2,000 pictures and (maybe) get one good one!
Sniffie and the Florida Furkids
the shells look like hungry mouths: i like them very much.
Cool photo. I'm jealous about a trip to take photos, and 2000 of them! :-)
I love everything about your photograph. Even the way you framed and your watermark as well.:)
wonderful capture!
Those are my kind of colors. I like the texture and shape. Well worth a bit of effort to take.
great photo. I do like the colors too.
such a curious-looking bit from nature... interesting indeed! good thing they didn't escape your eye-
Oh yea Scott the colors inside this flower (or whatever it is) is amazing. Looks like a little gnome as worked around it with a little paintbrush.
Nice shot :)
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
Such lovely interesting textures :-)
They definitely look just as beautiful ...wonder what they are?
Beautiful photo of those mystery seed pods. Looking forward to seeing more photos from your trip. Happy Spring!
Lovely capture for this week's Photo Hunt theme. Methinks this might be my first visit to your blog and I find it most impressive. Thanks for visiting my PH at Small Reflections and leaving the link back here. I look forward to returning as time permits.
Hugs and blessings,
who would've thought that dried buds can make a wonderful pic such as this?
Beauty in the death and decay. Perfect three for the theme.
Great shot Scott! I like the textures and range of colours you captured here.
Lovely photo! Looking forward to seeing what else you captured.
Nice photo! Interesting take on it. Thanks for dropping by.
Nice take on the theme. I love the color and very interesting looking!
Great photo, as usual, Scott! Perfect three :)
Really cool! :)
