Sycamore pods...

These explode into hundreds of tiny seeds that fly through the air and plant themselves.

Nice one, Gary! And their bark does a funky thing over the winter!!
Here's my Sycamore shot, http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2015-03-23
I should shoot one in its winter garb before spring arrives here!

@rhoing Nice shot. Like the nice focus on yours. Mine were about 10 feet high so harder to get the focus I wanted.

Very cool - how interesting!!

@365karly1 Thanks.

[Karly]

They look like ornaments!

[Kathy]

Great shape and texture. So visible on the "naked" branches.

[Danette Thompson]

They look so large.

Love these little seed pods - so full of life and possibility!

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely seed pods it would be nice to see them exploding!!

[GaryW]

@365karly1 They do with a tree full of them.

[GaryW]

@randystreat Thanks, yes they are.

[GaryW]

@danette They are about the size of a half dollar coin.

[GaryW]

@casablanca Indeed, thanks!

@craftymeg Our grandson learned if he would throw them down on the hard ground they would explode. There is no sound but hundreds of tiny seeds!
