Acorns on the Ground, © B. Radisavljevic |
In the photo to the left, we see detached acorns, on the ground, fallen from the tree. Most have lost their caps. Below is a photo of a single acorn, still living on its tree. This photo was taken in October, 2011. I took it while out for a photo walk one day.
Acorns almost never grow alone. In the photo below you see some that are growing together. Even if you look closely at the photo above you will notice the acorn is not alone. There is another one hiding behind it.

Often acorns grow in close together, like these below.

Did you notice that all the acorns still on their oak trees still have their caps intact? Most will lose these after they fall to the ground.
Acorns may look simple, but they have a lot of power packed inside. The acorns in the photo below fell from the oak tree that lives across the street from me in Paso Robles.

We've all heard that mighty oaks from little acorns grow. Below is the oak tree these fell from. We can assume this majestic oak grew from a small acorn just like these. In fact, I have little oak trees sprouting in my yard from these acorns that I sometimes don't see until they are a few feet tall because they sprout under other trees and shrubs.

If you look on the hills in the background, you will see many more oaks. Paso Robles has so many oak trees it was named after them. Paso Robles means Pass of the Oaks. One of the most famous landmarks in Paso Robles is what we've nicknamed the Acorn Building because its clock tower is shaped like an acorn. You can see it pictured below on these Zazzle products.
