I had never looked closely at one of these sweet gum balls- they're actually kind of eerie looking in an interesting sort of way. Just had always thought of them as a nuisance when you had to mow. Now I think they belong in an enchanted forest - or something from space!
Oh, I've never seen anything like this! 365 certainly makes you look at things with new eyes; it's one of the things I like about it so much. Another thing is learning about things in other people's lives - like this!
Cool shot!
They are cool, and you got a nice close up. If you get a chance, check out this book: The Mandala Book: Patterns of the Universe by Lori Bailey Cunningham. It has a lot of beautiful photographs of the same shaped objects in the natural world. This would fit into the category called "radials".
Cool shot!
