this or that thursday: acorns

Imagine my delight when I realized that acorns come in a lovely shade of green. They're even topped off with a beautiful little intricate hat. I guess I haven't been very observant all these years because I only remembered the little brown ones.

    We rarely see acorns here, yet I love them and their little caps. I've not seen fat green ones like these. Love you photos, especially the second with the acorn close to the tree.

  35. shirleyOctober 6, 2011 at 12:41 PM

    Lovely captures - they are indeed different from the common brown ones we think of.

    But I am the only who thinks they look a little bit like the Green Pigs in Angry birds? The ones with the helmets that are so hard to kill??

    OK, maybe I'm deranged!
