Weird and Wonderful Buckeye Seed Pod or...a Deep Sea Angler Fish!

While walking around at Michael's place, I wandered down the sidewalk to the next house over, and found a bushy tree with all kinds of odd, prickly, brown fruit on it. Thanks to Leapfrog (Art) for identification, I can tell you this is a Buckeye seed pod, and they are totally COOL! I enjoyed taking pictures and then I looked under some branches to see what it looked like, and I found this poor, sad seed pod that didn't quite make it! :D Instead of being 3" in diameter like the normal seed pod, this dud was about 1", cracked and looking like a strange alien from another planet! Totally fabulous!!! :D

Not a kiwi fruit, they grow on vines. But it might well be a tree version of an angler fish as you suggest. :)) Whatever it is, you took a great shot.

This seems to be friendly..........it's smiling and it's teeth haven't grown yet!!

Such an unusual find........Love the autumnal colours and detail and that lovely background! Great title as well (Angler Fish sprang to mind as soon as I saw it).
