"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,/And what I assume you shall assume,/For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.//I loafe and invite my soul,/I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass."

Fall colors & things
Big, little. European turkey oak (Q. cerris) and pin oak (Q. palustris) acorns. Sumac. Very velvety leaflets.
On the contrary - it is the young who have the most interesting pocketfuls! They're closest to the ground so they see more neat things to pick up. That's my theory anyway.

I love your yearly "what's in my pocket" photos!
Am I too young to be eccentric? Pockets full of pods and seeds. I don't think so.

And I'm sure you're finding, or soon will, that the really young put everything into their mouths. The world must be tasted!
What is that thing in the last photo? the one that looks like an elongated acorn in an Albert Einstein wig.

It is an elongated acorn in an Einstein wig. European turkey oak, and that is its cap. It's jut over an inch long, one of the longest acorns around.
