It’s a small world — macro photography week

Another Hungry Mouth…
Seedpods found by my sweetie – the were closed when she brought them inside, then opened up like hungry mouths. Anyone know what they are? She said there was no tree nearby with similar seeds.
Nature, abstracted

Clinging to the trunk of a Big Leaf Maple near McLane Creek in West Olympia.
