A very cool shadow! This can be a number of things, but I see a shadowy mesh. A bag to carry the fruit? Perhaps the membranes of said fruit. I cannot be sure of that, but the shadow I see is great!

Hi Ralph,
Thank you and the husk surrounds the tomatillo. This was the end of the crop, so I think the fruit never grew enough to be picked.

Sylvia, thank you:)

so beautiful and delicate. It looks like a Christmas decoration. I would spray it or dip it in something and hang the little beauty in the window!

great shadow too!

zendotstudio, preserving it is an excellent idea. It's less than an inch high (2 cm) so I've got it sitting on my desk.
We LOVE it! It is fantastic - but would never make it on our desk - ha!!

What an unusual, yet lovely photo! Who would have thought that a tomatillo husk could be such a thing of beauty!

And yes the weather here in Australia has been crazy lately. This week lots of power outages due to severe storms. The longest one being for 24hours. Fun and games! Although I'm one of the lucky ones to have only lost power. Many people have experienced much worse. I hope you and your husband have a lovely Christmas! Give Sputnik a big Christmas hug from me :)

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
