In NC we had this thing called "Skunk Cabbage". It smelled awful but its seed head was quite interesting. I have not seen any down here in the FL panhandle. This is not my image, just one I found on the web but it shows the seed pod to good effect. I would love to find one that I could photograph in black and white!
Is that some creative PP or was "The Black Mist" moving in?
It is just the hedge in the background but then I did add a white vignette in PP.
You are right it does look like a black mist moving in :culpability:
Now my imagination is getting away from me. That's mom and dad Piney on the right, with a teenage Piney and 4 little Pineys, trying to decide which way to run from the dreaded Hedge Fog!
