| One lovely, warm, December
      afternoon, I decided to stop in at my happy place to take a few pictures
      and a short walk.  I only had my phone camera but the sky was so neat
      looking that even it did a good job of capturing it. | |

| The clouds were showing off that day, and the wind was
  non-existent, making the water as smooth as glass. Beautiful. | Still admiring the clouds. |

| On my walk I saw a pile of yellow debris on the north side of a tree. | Then I noticed there was a yellow debris pile on the same side of every tree I could see. | 
|  |   Horse Apple, which I always want to (incorrectly) call a Crab Apple. Gran used to cut these up and put them around her house on little saucers | 
| Walking further I spotted a horse apple tree with a HUGE
  pile of debris.  I guess the squirrels sit there and pull the fruit apart for whatever goodies they get out of them. | |
