Seems like once you see one ball, you see them everywhere.  This is defective orange was found on a tree within a short walk from our site.  I started off with the goal of taking a photo of the “green” “ball” — but found this one orange to be so intriguing – and photogenic.

While taking a walk around the park two nights ago, I came across this most perfect natural ball!  Don’t you just love it?

Here’s a close=up taken the following morning… I wanted to see how the morning light changed the cactus.  The whole cactus shot was better in the evening sunlight, the morning seemed better for the detail shot.
