Eucalyptus Seed Pods - nature photography

Some of the plants in California are just so amazing! Even though they aren't native (most eucalyptus are from Australia).  Eucalyptus has become one of my favorites, the trees, the flowers and the pods.  More pics of the flowers coming soon.

eucalyptus pods 

I have so many seed pods that I have collected along hikes and travels, this is just a few.
Since it was raining most of the day yesterday, I got into some spring cleaning, which then led me to photographing some of these seeds that are everywhere in the house . The overcast light through the window was perfect so I went with it. Seedpods and rocks seem to be the things I like to collect, I have a lot around on shelves , and also alot in boxes in the closet .... if I had them all out our house would look like a natural history museum or something .
I love them all dearly :) What kind of things do you collect ?

Any artists out there ??
