Sycamore Seeds or Propeller Leaves



We used to call these propeller leaves and play with them in the playground. Even as a grown up I can't resist picking up a handful, throwing them in the air and watching them twirl down.

I always thought they would be ideal for pixie wings. Their ethereal quality makes them one of the most beautiful things of autumn.

Seeing them in summer was a first for me and I was delighted! I was even more fascinated by the fresh green and the perfect accompaniment of hot pink colour they have. So I brought them home to take a picture for you.
