Description

Hello to you all and hope the week is going well for all of you. Todays capture is a subject that I've used before. Acer pseudoplatanus or the Sycamore has such a facinating seed, even though it is a real pain keeping it out of the garden. Many thanks to all of you who viewed and/or commented on my last upload.

My vice president at my office saw this on my computer and it inspired him to tell me about what his plans were... He does bronze sculptures and his next project to to cast one of these seeds. He loved your photo as I do! :-)

We used to wear them on our noses , if this is what I think it is. You have elevated this simple seed pod into an object of great beauty! Stunning work, Mark. -M :^)

Cool picture, also explains why I could not figure out what part of the tree it was in your earlier image. The sycamores I have had in my yards in the U.S. has a seed ball that breaks into many fuzzy parts much like a really dense dandelion.

Wow, I thought that was a tobacco leaf at first! Excellent overall color/colour and splendid detail in the vein-like texture of the Acer pseudoplatanus.
