The squirrels seem to be far busier with our pecans than they do with these acorns. They're falling everywhere. One part of a road I walk is almost golden from the crushed acorns.
I wonder if you're set to have a chillier, snowier winter than IL... there's just no acorns here to speak of and the ones I have found are so dinky. Maybe the squirrels here are worried about starving to death in the coming months thanks to the small size of the acorns. I like what the B&W edit brings out in the details of the caps.
