Stumbled across these alien looking pods this weekend on a walk around the neighborhood. They are called Balloon or Puffball Milkweed, and also according to the neighbor who tends the corner garden “Hairy Balls.”

She had an open pod and showed what the seeds inside look like.

There’s a gallery of more shots after the Read More link below.

Good morning. Blooms still a bloomin’.

A cluster of small purple flowers against a soft, blurred green background. The flowers have delicate petals and varying heights, adding a natural, vibrant touch to the scene.

Really enjoying the 5X zoom on the iPhone 16 Pro.

A stone gargoyle wearing a rainbow scarf is perched on the edge of a building, with a towel draped over the ledge above it. In the background, a red brick wall and a window are visible under a clear blue sky.

I feel like I'm not understanding how the depth affect works on the iPhone 16 Pro. I have set the depth of field to f16, and took this photo with the 5X camera. That depth the field should be extremely deep and yet this flower which is pretty much in the same plane is out of focus on the tips. Is this a failure of the photographer or of the computational photography in the phone?

The image shows a close-up of a Bird of Paradise flower. The flower has a striking appearance with bright orange petals and a vivid blue tongue-like structure emerging from a pointed, greenish base. The background is blurred, but you can see more green leaves and another Bird of Paradise flower in the distance, which also has orange and blue colors. The overall scene is vibrant and colorful, highlighting the unique and exotic look of the Bird of Paradise plant.

The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have a "new" 48 Megapixel Ultra Wide sensor! 🎉

So, are the iPhone 16 Pro's Spatial videos better than the iPhone 15 Pro’s?
