Put in place by the Ravenna Creek Alliance these seed capsules are designed to shatter when disrupted and distribute the native species plant seeds to the Ravenna Creek area. As the Flickr member who took this photograph said, “We can’t have our post-apocalyptic zombie farmers cultivating non-native species, can we?”

I have no idea what’s up with the queue — no posts over the weekend, as far as I can tell, but two today — and can only surmise that we’re part of the current round of “Tumblr’s Queue Sucks”. Hopefully the suckfulness will move on soon and we’ll be back to one fond memory or image every morning.
