Swamp Milkweed

Isn't this photo gorgeous? (Make sure you click on it to make it larger.) Our friend Paul McAfee, nature photographer extraordinaire, took this photo of Swamp Milkweed seed heads. As you all know, we think milkweeds are pretty cool plants and swamp milkweed is one of our favorites. Paul participates in an annual nature photography workshop at Merry Lea Environmental Center and says this about his experience and photo: "It was a great workshop with Jerry McCoy from Warsaw. He's quite the artistic photographer and I hopefully learned a few things about making more artistic type photos." You can see more of Paul's photographs here.
