Bastard False Indigobush

I found this at Goodwin Wildlife Management Area. Thanks to Jim Stahl, I now know these are Amorpha fruticosa, commonly known as Bastard False Indigobush

The underside is a duller green than the top (first picture). The tops are shiny.

Steampunk Spider

I made this a while back. It was a reject from the series that I did for the ELC. Maybe just be being a goof but I thought it was funny that I made her brass goggles have 8 lenses.
