Sycamore Seed Pod

A soft, furry, golden orange ball seems to be suspended in the air. The background is a slightly winter woodland scene of fallen leaves, tree trunks and branches

A furry, soft little Sycamore seed pod, so beautiful when viewed up close. I've really come to love and appreciate Sycamore trees. They can grow to be quite large and recover well from wind damage when other trees don't. Their bark is thin, shallow etched and often flakes off to reveal a smooth-skinned inner bark that varies in patches of color from white to gray to gray green. Beautiful. And they often grow near water with really interesting trunk and root formations. Such an interesting tree! In our woods they are usually the largest trees. The bark is medicinal and they can be tapped for their sap! Read more at Wikipedia!
