More leaves.

My hikes seem so quiet lately - no curious 6 and 8 legged friends, no birds singing, gray skies...

These seed pods are very interesting though. Never seen them before - tiny (about the size an index fingernail) covered with what looks like diamonds. Looks completely man-made - other than the stem - like a jewel. Couldn't make out the details of the seeds until I enlarged these images.

pretty jjewellery formed sedd pod,

Never seen those Loupey, very cool seeds.

I know how your feeling Loupey theres not much stiring in my neck of the woods about the only going by once in a wile is a flock of Geese lol . Im just lucky that last week i had a few visitors at my feeders :)

PS: i have never seen pods like that before.

Yup been pretty quite around here as well. Except for a mountain of leaves in the yard cant say Ive had much to shoot.

Weird looking pod thing.
