Buttonball trees have such a distinctive bark to them. I have stopped so many times with my camera trying to find a face or some other figure or shape that looks like something, but I have never been successful. Maybe there is a dancing woman here, although I only saw that just now, not when I took the photograph, so I guess that doesn't count!
I spoke of seeing "squished" buttonballs all over the grass under the trees, which is what got my attention. There were literally hundreds of these in the first two tenths of a mile. I wanted you to see how soft these are when they get to this stage. And I am not sure how they get from the hard round ball, to this state. Did they fall down in the Fall, and then the winter weather opened these up somehow? They are unbelievably soft, and so different from the hard round shapes. So many mysteries in nature!
