Seed Pod on Playa Cocles, Costa Rica

I hung onto this beautiful seed pod for a couple weeks I reckon. Not very ‘take nothing but photographs…’ of me, but it was for artistic purposes and I’ll hold to that story. For a mandala artist it was too good to be true.

When I first found it on the beach, it was still wet and reflecting light. It was my imagination that took it to the next level with the reflections of the beach along its rounded sides.

I totally understood when the thing dried out, but nothing prepared me for it’s falling apart. Its just as well I'd captured the image of it.
