“The mysterious creature”

I noticed this little fellow at the front of our house today. At a distance and with my eyes not what they used to be, it certainly looked like some little creature.

Approaching cautiously, I was a little disappointed to discover it was just a seed pod of sorts. Still, it’s quite interesting and I’m not sure where it actually came from. It certainly doesn’t seem to be from anything in our garden.

So, still a mysterious creature :-)
