Default Cocoon Tree and Gloved Foxes...

Was out enjoying the sunshine on Sunday and took a couple of snaps I was happy with so thought I would share.

I loved the cocoon tree I found - it was covered in these cocoons - if anyone knows anything about cocoon identification it would be interesting to find out what they were.

These are great. I love the bokeh in the first one. I have no idea what they are though. Thanks for sharing!

We must be on the same wavelength. I just this minute commented on these on flickr. I love both of these Pixie. The first one is simple yet so effective with how you have captured it, and the second one, the contrast of colours is excellent. Great work.

Don't know what the first ones are. Love foxgloves and your shot is a great perspective and the color really pops against the blue sky
