This is a large Gall on an oak tree that I came across while hiking the Ouachita National Forest here in Arkansas back in December. I see a lot of these on my hikes but most of them are smaller. I stood next to this one to show the size.

I came across this tree with a hole through it while I was hiking in the Ouachita National Forest here in Arkansas this past December. I spend most of the winter hiking this forest, and so I get to see lots of cool looking trees.

I rarely enjoy being in my photos but I thought this would give you an idea of the size of the tree and the hole.
