from little acorns grow mighty oaks. by summerfield

from little acorns grow mighty oaks.

hot and humid in toronto and i was cooking the whole day. in the early evening, i decided I've been couped up enough so i trotted off downtown to the legislature building not realizing that there was a 'labour day' parade which lucky for me was just winding up when i arrived.

passed by a large oak tree teeming with acorns and they were quite low. amazing how the darn squirrels have not caught up with the tree. and i was just lamenting to christine @k1w1 this morning on her acorn post that the oak trees around where i am didn't have acorns. and then i found one that was full of them. i remember seeing an ad poster from when i was in college, of a little girl peeking through the pants of a little boy and the caption was "from little acorns grow mighty oaks." i forgot what the ad was about but i thought that now such an image would raise the ire of a lot of people.

for the get pushed challenge, this week my partner is brianna @lilminimonka and her push was a photo showing evolution.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are genuinely appreciated. thank you also for sending the little crystal ball on to the pp, because of your generous favs. thank you.
@k1w1 - chris, i found a luscious tree at queen's park. yay!

Great sharpness, those pointy leaves really show off the acorns.

Lovely lighting. Our oak trees are starting to get some leaves so I think it will be a while before acorns will be seen.

A wonderful photo for the challenge, these acorns really do represent a form of evolution, lovely! Can't wait to see more if you do so!

Lovely shot- but for some reason I'm not happy to see acorns or some of the leaves changing this year.
