Thistle


I am not sure what this tree is but while on assignment today I channeled some of my hiking photography to capture these hanging remnants of a tree lying dormant in the winter.

Looks like a Liquidamber or Sweetgum tree, although the close-up of the bark has the look of a sycamore which also produces these seed pods. While your pictures are wonderful, the seed pods in my yard are the pits. Walking barefoot is out. Maybe a job for the Master Gardener.
