Swarm of Maple Bats!

A couple of months ago, Steve and I were at the Palmerton Arboretum and I found these lovely maple seeds in clusters all over the lower branches of a huge maple tree which graced the entrance of this wonderful grove. I have always loved these seeds, and upon the tree the look to me like tiny, colorful bats in flight. This image makes me want to duck my head, here they come!!

Below are a couple of other pictures of "maple bats", I hope you enjoy them! :
