Poland isn't, in my mind, a country associated with stunning beauty and points of magnificent nature -- yet the places we're passing, the scenery and landscapes are breathtaking.
As summer approaches, many might not be thinking about ice-scapes or glaciers -- unless maybe to cool off at the thought of them.
Over the years I have collected various seed pods as I ran across them in various travels and swap meets. Their size alone is astonishing.
