Weird and Wonderful Buckeye Seed Pod or...a Deep S…

While walking around at Michael's place, I wandered down the sidewalk to the next house over, and found a bushy tree with all kinds of odd, prickly, brown fruit on it. Thanks to Leapfrog (Art) for identification, I can tell you this is a Buckeye seed pod, and they are totally COOL! I enjoyed taking pictures and then I looked under some branches to see what it looked like, and I found this poor, sad seed pod that didn't quite make it! :D Instead of being 3" in diameter like the normal seed pod, this dud was about 1", cracked and looking like a strange alien from another planet! Totally fabulous!!! :D Explored on September 15, 2013. Highest placement, page 5.

Thanks to Leapfrog (Art) for the identification, I didn't have a clue what this could be when I took a picture, but I was totally fascinated by the prickly exterior and fabulous texture! They range in size from 3"-4" in diameter. I didn't take any because it wasn't my property, but I wanted to see what they looked like inside! Maybe I'll see about getting one the next time I'm over there! :) Stay tuned for an interior picture in a couple of weeks! :)
