  1. At first I thought it was some sea creature. My kids have some squishy, light-up toys that look like this!

  7. That's funny that everyone seems to think it's a see urchin upon first glance. It took me a minute to figure out it's some kind of plant gone to seed... maybe a thistle? Nice shot. Great perspective.

  20. I'm glad you id'd this for us - I thought it was a nettle or fall seed pod from a tree (yeah, I can't think of what kind of tree, but they're all over my SIL's yard in NJ ... the kids call them big gumballs)
