Can you guess the tree..........

.....that these seed pods came from?  They were lent to me by a friend to draw!  Lovely twisty shapes and I think they'd be good for a lino cut.  When will I ever get time to do one though?

Comments possibly lacking at the moment....slightly down this week though I don't know why as I have so much to be thankful for.

Extra is the sun (in short supply today) on my tulips.
