Branch and what?

[hillwalkinggirl]

Had my new nifty fifty today and took a quick trip outside in my lunch break. This is a branch of the tree of heaven, otherwise known as the stag tree. I saw these funny little things on it which look like some sort of egg. Anyone know what they are?

C & C welcome please.

Is it not just sap?

Oh and I like the shot!

A jelly baby ?

I get very nasally sometimes and 'snot-out', though usually I'll catch it on one finger and flick it - this is what you get as a 'look' from flicked snot from a nasally chap

I reckon you were walking about 5 mins behind me this day - soz



At least you didn't have the 'pleasure' of seeing my brown lumps too - but that's a whole different bodily problem & flicking technique



Or, it's sap

Maybe, it looked like an egg of some sort to me, but then again I didn't fancy touching it to see.:shrug:

Would you like some as a special treat.:nuts:

No idea what they are but I think they are edible.

Try tomorrow on your lunch break and let us know what they taste like, may help with ID.

I just become a vegetarian - like as of now. I am sure they are animal so if you give me your address I will post them onto you.

Odd looking stuff on a nice looking picture

I think it's just sap, probably related to the hot spell the last few days.

I think you're probably right. I will go and poke a stick in it tomorrow and see what it is.

Isn't that spooky I took a similar shot on Monday. Nice btw and good to see you making use of your new toy

Probably sap, they do weep a bit. I recently chopped down a Tree of Hell, ah, sorry, Heaven, the wood is very wet, but makes interesting patterns.
Why, I may even go out and photograph it later..

Checked it out with a cocktail stick. No bug in it - just sap.

I've been out practising. Not done anything very good yet, still trying to hold my hand steady when manual focusing in close up. Nikon D40X doesn't work in AF as motor is in lens and no motor in nifty fifty, so I am just going to have to get the hang of it.

I'm now looking for something to tog at a distance, but boring work is preventing it at present. It's a nice lens though, shame about the operator.:bang:
