We found several oak apples (also called oak galls) when we were at Champoeg a couple weeks ago, all of which are now gathered in a bowl that bounces between our dining and coffee tables.
We found several leaves with one gall attached, like this one.
A few with two.
Two with three.
And one with four.
They were scattered all over the ground under a particular tree, but Devon called to me from up in the branches and asked for the camera. He'd found one still hanging, liked how the mossy branches framed it, and wanted to take a picture from his vantage point.
If you're unfamiliar with oak apples, then here are more pictures and a description.
