Seeing acorns always reminds me of my childhood as we had a massive Oak Tree at the bottom of the garden which liberally shed its acorns. My job was to dig up the saplings each year before they grew too large - what seemed like millions of them!
Love you got the mature acorn and the emerging one in the same shot. We have a couple of pin oak trees in our yard. Between deer, blue jays, chipmunks and squirrels we hardly see an acorn. Sadly one is probably going to have to be cut down as it is a danger of falling on the house. A big chunk out of the wallet, too.
