Ok, I know milkweed seeds have been done to death by photographers. I, personally, have somewhere around a zillion milkweed seed photos. But milkweed seeds in the winter? With hoar frost? And a snowy background? That’s just magic. How can I not photograph that?

These photos are all from the same morning as those in last week’s photo of the week post. I’ve got even more from that morning saved up for future weeks… It was that kind of morning.

Beautiful shots!
You can’t not, it would seem.
I especially like the fourth one, isolating and emphasizing the frosted coma!
