So Swiftly Does the Sun Rise

Yes, this is nearly the same shot I posted yesterday. It has the same two friendly oak galls nestled comfortably in the crook of the oak leaf..

But the sun has sprung up and is shining glorious, brilliant light over all our 40 acres, even these two humble galls!

Oddity

I guess these are some sort of galls on this Hackberry tree.

It is odd how a photo of an injury or disease can still come out beautiful. I think it is mostly due to the color. What do you think? Is it beautiful? Would black and white make it less so?
