I'm a native born and bred 'Buckeye' (Go Bucks!) and the fruit of those are smaller than golf balls.

In those explorations, I ended up getting the shots of the bunchgrass, the frosty looking oak shot, the "sunwashed" valley, and the coyote brush. Since I don't go tramping in to private property, I finally found these high up on highway 20, nearly at the top of the watershed. To me they look like decorations for Christmas. With their casings on, they are about the size of tennis balls.<BR/><BR/>Amy, meet Kris. Kris, meet Amy. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to be running so late with my replies. I read and enjoy all your posts, and greatly appreciate your visits. Kym's blog, Redheaded Blackbelt, is linked in my blogroll, and I recommend her photography and writing highly. Like she said, she's got nuts too.USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-43972662507222994042008-11-18T21:58:00.000-08:002008-11-18T21:58:00.000-08:00Beautiful shot and interesting post, Elaine!Beautiful shot and interesting post, Elaine!rafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00931542618277230185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-22374364943183562082008-11-18T19:39:00.000-08:002008-11-18T19:39:00.000-08:00A couple of fine pairs of nuts you've got there, U...A couple of fine pairs of nuts you've got there, USelaine...Kris McCrackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789355638389350528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-50169227339365788172008-11-18T13:16:00.000-08:002008-11-18T13:16:00.000-08:00yes, very toxic.
