Pictures for Pam, Day 141: SSC: Seed from an Avocado

Pictures for Pam, Day 141: SSC: Seed from an Avocado
(+10 insets!) (please view large for even more details!)

Woo hoo! Saturday Self-Challenge is here!! The theme is “any subject beginning with the letter "S." I actually had plans to take more pictures of different ideas I had but unfortunately I ran out of time. Why? Well, Steve and I are getting our RV trailer ready to go and one thing we must do first is have some practice campouts right here on our property. This is taking a lot of time and energy to prepare for. (You may have also noticed that I haven't had time to comment, I'm so sorry!)

On top of that, our washer decided it wouldn't drain anymore so Steve had to figure out how to repair it. I was there to assist him and the great news is that it's fixed! Guess what was clogging the drain? A lens cloth!! ROFLMAO, and Steve guessed it from the start. You should have seen his face when he pulled it out and showed it to me. LOL, his smirk was too funny.

We are really excited because today we're pretending to be driving to a campsite and at dinner time, we'll bring our dinner and cook it over there. It will be our first meal in our RV, we can't wait! Then we'll watch travel videos on our tv in the bedroom and finally, we'll bring Pumpkin (our parrot) and our dog Molly over and sleep overnight! We'll take showers in the morning and then have bacon and eggs like usual for breakfast! It is going to be awesome! :)

For my submissions today I'm posting lots of SEEDS, a SPIDER, a STAR in a STAR, SCREWS and SPICES! My main picture is a seed from an avocado, and you'll see another one in an inset. The other seed pictures are flax, bird seed, wheatberries in black and white, and black oil sunflower seeds. The spice is red pepper flakes and as crazy as it sounds, I chomp up 1/2 teaspoon every morning! :D The spider is a tiny crab spider on a daffodil and the star-within-a-star is an elegant goundstongue flower (you will also see that the inner star is formed from a circle of white hearts!)

Pam, I went to your stream to look for subjects that start with the letter "S" and I picked out your SKIPPER on SUNFLOWER picture, which counts for TWO S'S! HOORAY!! :D It's a great shot and wonderful timing for us to see its ridiculously long proboscis probing for goodies! :) I hope you had a good day my dear! *BIG HUGS* from southern Oregon!

Explored on 3/31/19, highest placement, #2.

How was the avocado? The seed makes me think it was overripe!
Did you know that in Brazil they eat it with sugar, even as an ice cream!

Extraordinary images Janet! The main picture is just superb. It's beautifully lit and full of wonderful detail. The earthy colours are gorgeous.

In the PiPs my faves are the crab spider and the goundstongue flower. A special mention must be given to the red pepper flakes for their wonderful colours.

What wonderful macros Janet - those seeds are amazing. You know I'm not a fan of spiders, but that one is quite sweet, although you can keep it please.

It sounds great fun trying out camping in your own land to start with. I do hope it's not too cold for you to stay in during the night. Have you decided when you are intending to go on your holiday in the RV yet?

These are fascinating pictures! The main picture looks great. The structure of the seed is interesting. The insets are fantastic too. Most I like the goundstongue flower. It seems to float over the wonderful bokeh. The spider pic is stunnig. It looks like a pencil drawing. I also like the pic with pepper flakes.

And then there was the threat of the shutdown at the border. You may have had to plant this one to get your next avocado.
