I was looking for pine cones leftover from fall, though I think all the squirrels got them first. I don’t feel that bad for myself though, I wasn’t planning on using the cones for a food source. As I looked I thought I saw a large fuzzy slug, then I saw more and more and more. The strange thing is, I have been in this house for three years and have searched this spot many times and never saw these creatures. I wish they were creatures, only some sort of pod that falls every four years. I know there are a lot of photos, I couldn’t stop. They are so pretty. Does any one know what they are? I would like to make sure I have one of these trees where ever I happen to live.

    Hmm.. They look sort of like seed pods from a mimosa tree.

    I think it’s a mimosa tree. We have lots of them here in Birmingham and I love to pick them up when I’m out walking. I wish I could think of something good to do with them…although they are just fun to look at…..
