Acorn, Squashed


I was walking quickly, not really watching where I was stepping ... when I felt a "crunch" under my foot.

I stopped and looked down.

And saw this acorn heart!

It's not the time of year for acorns, nor was there an oak tree nearby (those leaves are maple leaves - I think). I can only assume that a hungry critter (I've seen bluejays hiding nuts ... and squirrels too) grabbed this out of a stash nearby, and dropped it by accident.

I left the squashed acorn heart where it was - hopefully the critter will be back for a "hearty" meal!

Even when you step on something and crunch it--there's a HEART!

Wow! Totally impressive and amazingly eye-filling!
