I found it on the ground while walking in my woods.  Prior to this, I&#8217;ve only ever seen them in the fall, when they&#8217;re brown and the shell is hard.  This one cracked open in its fall from the tree, so I HAD to peel it back a bit and see what was inside.  What a rare treat!<\/p>\n<p>If you know anything about these little living gems, please leave me a comment and clue me in.<\/p>\n<p>6\/23 update: My office mate just found a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hsu.edu\/content.aspx?id=2151\" target =\"_blank\">really cool site<\/a> that has lots of info about these oak galls.  What&#8217;s inside mine is, indeed, animal-based, caused by a parasitic wasp.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jean sent me a post in response to the June contest suggesting that I link to writteninc.
