Oh...Nuts! by alophoto

Oh...Nuts!

Can't stop myself with fall shots. I had a couple that I'd been holding onto since last week.

These acorns, I gathered while walking the dog in our neighborhood. They reminded me of a magnet that an old roommate gave me in college. It was an acorn with this memorable phrase:

Remember the mighty oak was once a nut like you.

Almost 20 years later, I am still a nut and the magnet still hangs on my fridge.

To nuts! Here here!

Love all the colors. Funny, the green in the middle did not really show itself until I looked at it on a larger (than my phone) scree. Fav.

@darsphotos Aw, thanks so much, Miss D. Hey, can you recheck the button again, my friend. And go getchoo some nuts. I want to see your fall, too:).

Nut or not :) I like this shot...great colors and textures.

@amandal Sorry about that. So clogged up, sneezing, runny nose, hoarse voice and sleepy too. Our Fall is falling. Tree leaves are curling up and dropping off like crazy around here. Hey, they had to cancel outdoor sports yesterday in Roseville, Rocklin, etc due to the smoke from the fire. Wow. The air looks clear here today and the quality has improved here but Placerville and Grass Valley had to close schools due to the smoke. 89,000 acres and winds picking up though will be blowing towards Tahoe again.
