The Protectors Of Magical Seeds is an artistic study of seed pods cleanly photographed to show fine detail and shapes in nature while also demonstrating their armor-like qualities that protect the precious, magical seeds inside.
“It always amazes me to look at the little, wrinkled brown seeds and think of the rainbows in ’em,” said Captain Jim. “When I ponder on them seeds I don’t find it nowise hard to believe that we’ve got souls that’ll live in other worlds. You couldn’t hardly believe there was life in them tiny things, some no bigger than grains of dust, let alone colour and scent, if you hadn’t seen the miracle, could you?”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables series.
