Round and Fluffy






















I found this on the ground recently and am wondering what it might be. Something that broke of the tree before its form resolved, I suspect. Meanwhile this morning's snow was not the individualistic kind, but the sort where a menagerie of crystals cling to each other, each clump a small falling party. Here's to individuation in less individualistic times! And happy spring!

It looks fantastic in the large view. Could it be a proto-sweetgum pod?

That's what I was thinking.
