acorn weekend

Collected some mini acorns on Saturday by the East River. Fully mature, little bulbous ones with pointy tips—my favorite kind—pygmy acorns! Wish I knew exactly what species of oak they were from...
Hope everyone had a nice day off.

  1. Well goodness, I sat for a good hour researching to find out what species of oak your acorn was from, and I found nothing! Great post though, and acorns rock!

  3. k -- almost definitely a red oak, or maybe a chestnut oak. Believe in the Internet!
