Acorns

In our yard, we mostly have oak trees. So when autumn comes besides the falling leaves, we also have falling acorns. To give you an idea of how many, I took this photo of part of the street in front of our house, BTW: Acorns are much harder to rake,

Great perspective

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, now you can see why we have so many squirrels

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wow. That sure is a lot of acorns. Squirrel heaven.

[Harry J Benson]

@mittens Thank you Marilyn, they also act as an alarm you can't get close to the house either walking or driving without stepping on some

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

I should send my squirrel from yesterday over your way.

[Harry J Benson]

@brumbe thank you Paula, we will fatten him up and send him back to Philly

Wow, that is a lot of acorns!!!

[Harry J Benson]

@scooter Thank you Scooter, old wive's tale says it forecasts a hard winter

[JeanCarl]

You can grow an acorn tree farm with that many! My first thought was a sprained ankle. Careful where you walk.

[Terry Beigie]

Our yards looks similar! My kids used to hold acorn fights with one another! FUN!

[Paul Myers]

Growing up, our parkway tree was an oak. Evergreen, but it still dropped a lot of acorns every year. I can relate to this shot.

[Lauren]

wow that's alot of acorns!!! cool looking shot!

[Constance Brinkley]

Harry, I love this shot. It reminds me of growing up with Oak trees. Great street shot and they are hard to clean up. Bring on the squirrels!!

[Trina P Holub]

We have mainly oak trees too...no acorns falling yet...maybe after last year, which was INSANE, there are none left. :-)

[Tracey Hatcher]

[Janet Morris]

You must have a lot of squirrels too, great pov!

[Harry J Benson]

@mummymorris Thank you Janet, I have seen a half-dozen running around while preparing breakfast

[Paula]

They are hard to rake! The squirrels must be having a ball in your yard:)

[Harry J Benson]

@pwallis Thank you Paula, the leaves I can blow, the acorns have to raked and the squirrels are having a great time

[Lina Dever]

Wow, what a blanket of fallen acorns! I'm glad this road's not on my running route as that looks dangerous to encounter at night.

[Harry J Benson]

@sourkraut Thank you Lina, you aren't that far away, you should have acorns there also, be careful
