These are actually quite small but when I crop the photo closely, the size is hard to determine. They could be scary alien visitors!
I had thought they were horse chestnuts but the facebook consensus is that they are most likely
- Betty Anderson: ouch
- Patrick J. Luby: they're back......
- Pamela Palombi McCollum: Ow ow ow ow!
- Jon Caulkett: what are they?
- Randall E. Winn - Jon Caulkett I assumed they were horse chestnuts, but little aliens remains a possibility
- Leslie C. MacPherson Randall E. Winn yup, on both counts
- Jacob Drahos: camels on the sahara
- Aimée Moran: Macro-COVIDs
- Joann Raley: Thar she blows!
- Vicki Jackson McGaugh: Sweetgum tree balls. We cut the trees down, since they blow over easily during hurricanes. Their lumber is all but useless and the wood is hard to split and pops too much for firewood. Bonfires are all it's good for.
- Rita Mallon: "Covid gang terrorizes the city"
- Leah Vandiver Barrett : Dangerous tumbleweed Michelle Garamella : We called those itchy balls through childhood fallen from the front yard tree
- Susan Smith Sanford : I remember well! I lived on the beach in my 20s, and every time I took my little poodle outside, I had to pull those off of him. Not an easy chore...
- Donna Stolz : COVID clusters that stayed in the sun for a long time. ☀️
- Leslie C. MacPherson Yup on both counts
- Stephani Moss : Abstract snowman
- Jennifer Lee Carillio-Biggin : Covid is coming! Haha😄🤣
- Heather Gray : Nice photo!
- Holly C Michaud : They are also known as witch burrs or witch balls (true story) and used in many spells. 3 is a protection number so i would say don't mess with the local squirrels lol 🐿🐿
- Randall E. Winn Holly C Michaud do NOT mess with the squirrels. Or the crows. They remember!
- Jazmyne Richards: I’d caption it, “My poor bare feet”
- Cathleen Barszewski Falconer : From sweet gum trees … I looked it up last year because the cemetery at the end of our street had so many. My first thought was they were horse chestnuts but they were hollow which is why I ended up researching them.
- Randall E. Winn Cathleen Barszewski Falconer thanks! I will check them next time I see some!
- Jasper Z Cruill: alignment
- Rebecca Phillips: Gods Art !!
- Dawn Powell : The prickly road!
- Danny Berry: they're from Sweet Gum trees.
- Nick White: They look like sweet gum balls to me - at least that's what we call them in Atlanta
- Kathleen Hoffman: Ouchie!
- Joe Defazio: obstacle course on my lawn
- Peggy Brogan: Death Trap for Seniors - I am well qualified to so caption, since one of them, subtly moving on its own volition while I was standing perfectly still, dropped me face first in the back yard of the then-new home.
- Sandy Martin : Line dancing aliens … put your right tentacle out ….
- Robert A. Riccobene: A Rolling Sea Urchin Gathers No Moss...
