Explore #458, 5/21/08.

As I was walking into the sunset last evening, having run a trail with Jessie, these delicate little empty seed pods were lit up like thousands of tiny paper lanterns. By the time I put Jessie up and returned with my camera, though, the sun had already set and they didn't appear to have the same glow. Now that I think about it, that was actually a better time to be shooting, because the bright colors would probably have been blown out in full sun. I'm really pleased with the way they turned out.
