The street is covered in the seed pods. I remember as a kid tossing the seed pods into the air and watching the helicopter-like decent to the ground. Now I just see a big mess on the street.

When I see the pods today, I still have the urge to do the same.

Then it seems birds must build their nest right over my car. <BR/>Nice hand, except for the ring it looks like mine, the lines are the same. Too bad you didn't get a video to share. Sounds like it would make a person dizzy to watch. Have a peaceful Sunday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
