Seed Season


Some wonderful textures and colours around at this time of year, seeds and berries galore, here's an example from my walk today. I notice that all these ash (or sycamore?) seeds from the same tree have ended up in slightly different places but mostly seem to be pointed in the same direction, I wonder if this is an evolutionary adaptation? Each seed has a slightly different wing size and shape and so you'd expect them to spread out like this which would increase their chances of hitting pay-dirt I guess?
