Sweet Gum Seed Pod

There is a beautiful Sweet Gum tree growing on the edge of my yard. The leaves are beautiful, but the seed pods sure hurt when you step on them.

Canon PowerShot A95
1/80s f/4.9 at 23.4mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I'm glad you found something nice to do with this - we have one of these trees in the side yard and the balls are everywhere - I have to admit I hate them. It does make a nice image, however, with plenty of texture.

However nasty they may be it's beautiful photo. Nice colors, sharp, and very well composed.

Super close up. Great detail and color. And yep, they do hurt when you're in your bare feet,

Great detail. Do your kids throw them at each other like mine used to?
Guest 25-Feb-2005 04:09
Almost every other tree in my neighborhood is one of these!

Wonderful macro....it looks like it has been varnished.
