Since I am a photographer I cannot pass up the chance to capture their beauty digitally. Their shapes while different are a beautiful symmetry. They are like ornaments to be dried and hung around the house or sewn to some fairy gown.

In the Beginning
If you are not a gardener or new to gardening you can be forgiven if you do not know the potential of seeds or the power of a single seed. Gardeners harvest their seeds and take care of them because they know that the future health of a plant and the harvest of that plant lie in how well we nurture those seeds. Food for the next year or beauty for next year's table. This is the time of the year when my house is full of small jars or envelopes of seeds. Mostly flower seeds, but hubby sometimes saves pepper and tomato seeds.
