Deadly and beautiful
If you were to walk in the swamps of Florida and see this hanging over your head, you would never imagine these beautiful seeds could kill you. Yes, you read that right, these tiny seeds are so poisonous you don't have to be a toddler to succumb to them.
I often wonder why beauty and death are so interconnected sometimes. In nature, some of the most beautiful animals are often the most deadly ones, and it would almost seem counter intuitive, except it's actually nature's way of giving us warning signs.
At any rate, I think this picture came out beautiful, more so because it was just taken with a mere phone. A little tribute to these pretty deadly beads.
Lol when i read the title i thought you were talking about me 😂😂😂😂

@meno, May be nature have it's own way to protect it's creations means, these are beautiful but dangerous too because no one will dare to mess with it, i think that this can be one way of thinking why beauty and death is Interconnected. Stay blessed.
That is so true, I remember when I was a kid and my parents took us to the village for the holidays. I was going to the river with my cousins and then I saw these beautiful leaves, I just held unto some to pull it next thing I saw was blood on my hands. The leaves had given me several tiny cuts in my hands.

Similar to love and hate I suppose. Fine lines between extremes.

I never touch anything that is in the wild, except oranges... especially since I watched the movie "into the wild", damn movie made me scared of almost any fruit or plant that is in nature... I thought there were no poison bushes in my country when I was young, then I went to a special herbal teaching class... the old guy started talking with us about all the different types of poison bushes that exist near my city...
BTW are you feeling better?
I'm doing a ton better my friend ;)

So similar to the fact that the best tasting food is the unhealthiest as well! Kind of a sarcastic approach to us as humans and our will to learn and acknowledge the need to adapt.
