We had a hard frost this past week and the hickory nuts are falling. Each nut hits the ground with a loud "ka-thunk". We joke that we should be wearing hard hats.
The outer husks bloom like flowers, revealing the nuts hiding inside their shells.
It doesn't take long to fill a basket.
We have plenty. Hickory Nut Tarts sound good.

Linking to Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.
I used the following textures:
Grunge Framed from the Minimay Set
and
Rue Marion from the French Connection Set
Wonderful photos. Nature at its best!
ReplyDeleteI remember doing this as a child with my Mom, such fun, love the edits on all of these, beautiful color.
ReplyDeleteThose hickory nuts are so fun to see again. It's been years since we had one in our yard. I LOVE the wire basket filled with nuts - gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I love the second one - you can really see the flower shape of the outer hulls.
