@redcrew twice today I was hit by falling vegetal matter in a park, both times startling me. One was a huge stiff brown leaf (sycamore i believe) that landed on my shoulder, then lap, with surprising force. The other, that fell on me while I was walking, was a huge orange colored blossom off a tree that I've yet to identify (pictured). They're large & the trees are loaded with them.
