Do the sputniks come from sweet gum trees? Because if they do, we have them, too – they line the athletic fields at the high school across the street and we have one in our backyard, too (I have wondered if the owners of our house in 1958 or so stole a tree from the ones being planted across the street at the same time, when the school was also being built, but – I don’t know…) anyway – we have them too, only – our sputniks are dried and brown because they are in the opposite season from yours. Somehow that is really doing something to my head.
Yes, sweet gum. Some of the sputniks are dried out and spiky too. It’s supposed to be autumn here but it’s still too damn hot for me – about 30°C and humid today.
Yesterday I came across a banana tree bearing fruit in someone’s back yard. . .
We are just now getting daffodils shooting up, not blooming, just emerging, so – I could go for a nice hot day and bananas. We need a trade right now, maybe?
Nature is the greatest designer of all. Lovely.
I agree. 🙂

Yes, please. It’s 3.08am, 23°, 75% humidity. Bleuch!
Oh dear. And you are awake at 3:08 AM? Even more, oh dear.
It was ok. I’d been dozing a lot in the afternoon. And I went back to sleep. I used to have terrible insomnia but it wasn’t the case this time. 🙂
Lovely colors and composition.
Thanks, Lemony. I love the look of those little sputniks. 🙂
Sweet!
Sweet gum, even. 🙂
Super!
