Forget the Camera 
Very nice! Great subject, for textures in this medium. I’ve a variety of nuts in shell…..may have a practice and see what comes up:-)
I’m looking forward to the results!
Did you know the peanut’s a legume, not a nut? 🙂
Oh – to be honest, I didn’t know that! Thanks for pointing it out! We are life-long learners… 😉
That is a fantastic macro shot
Thanks a lot! 🙂
As wisegeek nicely summarized:
In the strict botanical use of the term, a nut will usually have only one seed and at most it will have two. However, legumes frequently contain multiple seeds; it is not uncommon for a pea pod to contain half a dozen peas.
Additionally, a true nut is always indehiscent, meaning it won’t open on its own. The majority of legumes are dehiscent, opening naturally along a seam on two sides. Again, the pea pod is an obvious example of this.

Thanks for the additional info and the link!
