These still up in the tree and very green. Our oak tree this year is loaded with them at the same time as the leaves seem to be suffering from some kind of black spotted fungus or something. I wonder if in response to being 'sick' it is trying to get out as many offspring as it can.
A lovely image- I like the soft textures you have created! (Interesting about your oak tree. I'll take note of the oak trees around here. The acorns are sure hitting the ground now)
We’ve noticed that all the trees seem to be laden this year, whether with berries or nuts or cones. I think it was all the rain.
