I can't, for the life of me think of the name of these things. I hate having to pull them off my dog, but they make a nice subject.

They look like the seeds from a gum tree ("gumballs").

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Many names were mention. I see them all around here and I never knew what they were called. All I know is they are annoying, as I also try to get them out of my dog's fur. Nice shot.

:agree: , John. I found that Sweet Gum trees don't grow any farther north than NJ. The photo does appear to be seed pods from a member of the burdock family, sometimes used as an herbal medicine.
There are many varieties of burdock all over the world.
I read that the burdock seed pod was the inspiration for velcro.
