"Often, strange structures appear on an oak tree and these attractive round balls seen swinging amongst the catkins or attached to the buds are known as Galls and house different types of wasp larva."
There are various types of gall and they are caused by a gall wasp that lays its eggs inside the acorn, causing it to mutate. These wasps do not usually cause damage to the tree and are nothing to worry about. The most common are the Currant galls, the red Cherry galls and the Marble galls. If you were to cut one of those galls open, you would find the wasp larva curled up inside.

my thoughts on this lens:
Another forgoten lens in my collection. Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.8. Not as appreciated as f2.4 but in all respects an excellent 35mm lens.
SOOC as seen by Nikon standard preset.
I came back a little disappointed. Due to rain the treacherous descent to the base of the falls had turned even more perilous. The composition from down below would have been really breathtaking. May be next time.

Some fascinating frost this morning at Marsh Farm Country Park - the grass was covered in balls of ice with frost formed on top of them!

When adding some colour to this plain white ball light, I was struck by how a combination of them might be made to look like the planet Jupiter. That couldn't be done, but you can mentally piece them together from this arrangement to see what I mean.
The title comes from a very historic period in Australian rock and blues music in the late 60s and early 70s. At the time pubs were full of live music and provided new bands with an ideal launching point for their careers. Alas, no more. Pity the younger generation of musicians.
One of the legends of Australia blues rock was Lobby Loyde and his band the Coloured Balls.

Lobby Loyde was born John Barrie Lyde in Longreach, Queensland in 1941. His music style was heavy rhythm and blues and his influence on other Australian guitarists at the time was immense. He was also one to popularise the "Sharpie Movement". Sharps were one of the youth gangs that predominated in Melbourne (and to a lesser extent in Sydney). They were known for their hair styles and slick dressing with large boots. Unfortunately they were also known for their violent subculture (although to be fair it followed a strict code that wasn't the case when the more nihilistic, and to a large degree racist, Skinheads emerged).
Lobby Loyde later joined Angry Anderson and Rose Tattoo, but eventually moved into producing music. He died of lung cancer in 2007.
