Milkweed Pods

EDiO 19 - Bloom.  I live in rural central Ontario so there isn't much blooming here except for these seed pods.  It is nice to see though since they are the Monarch butterfly most favourite food!  I left the plant for an hour or two and when I got back some of the seeds had "ejected" themselves from the pod. I added a "bubble" to document the change. So it seems that wind isn't required for that but to fling the seed around so it will land on the ground and germinate. 

I submitted this as my class work for the Jane Lafazio sketching from life on-line course.
