This is an older one; they got almost half an inch long and turned brown, like little hedgehogs.

Here are some of the other oak galls I found today. Unfortunately, I only had my camera for part of the day, so I missed some of the varieties I found.
Tomorrow? Some scraps of honesty, I promise.
Fun post. I find little red oak galls on the ground every now and then. Mama used to say that people used them for ink in 'the old days.'
