Fantastic shot.
Really weird I wonder what they are .Cool shot Lynn
wow, i never seen anything quite like that, excellent capture my friend and thanks for sharing this beautiful yet unusual image !!
Interesting shot. Great light!
Funnily enough, I took a few shots of these same thingys ( technical term!) on a similar tree only last week. They are galls caused by one of the many species of gall wasp, of which there are about 90 species in the UK, 42 0f which induce galls on Oak trees! The perpetrator of this offence is rarely more than 5mm long, and yet can cause quite huge galls up to 6 times the size of the insect. I may post my pic soon and we can compare notes. If you Google Cynipidae which is the family name you will be able to identify the US species.
Great macro and interesting informations. Are they many ways to stop this?
