Your pics are as good as sig226’s! LOL

The local squirrels chew branches off the maples in spring when they’re covered in seed pods. If I can remember and pick some up, the “helicopters” make great fall decorations.

We don’t have Maples here..thus miss the lovely colors...I have some great seed pods collected at my daughters (pea like pods pop open to red beans and some from a now removed “take over” junk tree down in the ravine..I collected some gum balls when I lived in California..Love to find something for autumn and winter .

GG, how do you use the little helicopters as decorations. I have a lot of those floating down from the poplar trees. The poplar trees are beautiful but they are always dropping something to the ground. I enjoy their beauty and shade in summer but cleaning up after them is something else.
