Area 51

This morning I'm calmly walking around in the backyard waiting for Grace to pickle when...what in the hell is that???



And a close up...




It looks like some alien pod-thing growing on the Bay Leaf Magnolia! I wonder if the whole thing is the alien and the red seed looking things are what it feeds off of. Or if each red seed is an alien and it feeds off of the brains of it's human hosts that it captures as they unwittingly walk by the tree... hmmmm...

(from naturehills.com) and i quote - ahem-The leaves, pale green with silvery underside and crimson fruiting cones, are unmistakable. The fruits provide a good food source for many wildlife species, such as, turkey, quail, and numerous songbirds.
So NOW we know why the turkeys are not in our yard anymore. They are in YOURS!!!
