red glow

These whirligig seeds are red--WTF?!  Crazy.  It's spiky leaves and shadow are in focus more than the pods, which helps create a nice glow.  

sap drop

Sap slowly, slowly, slowly dripping down the open wound of a recently cut branch.  As I zoomed in from only inches away, I had a brief moment of horror when I thought I got sap on my lens.  I vote that "Getting sap on your lens" should have a double meaning in our society of some sort....  

fake-bake tans and magnolia trees

Magnolia trees are kinda like overly tanned twenty-somethings; yeh, it looks ~kinda~ hot now, but you're going to look like a leather bag by the time you're thirty. It's just not worth it. The trees look ~kinda~ pretty for like two days, then the yard is covered in decaying, brown petals for a month.

There were applejacks strewn everywhere, milk draining into the gutter. Horrible....
