Maple Seeds


The maple blossoms from a few weeks ago have turned into little helicopters. The minute these maple seeds fall loose from the tree, they begin rotating like helicopter blades, looking for fertile soil.

I do like to see these things spiral down. Fascinating.

Very interesting. I didn't know that. Very pretty, too.

And they are such a pretty color too - I never knew. Lovely close-up shot.

You found exactly the right background colour for these beautiful seeds. Their red-purple is absolutely stunning.
