I have walked by this puffball in our woods every day since late summer. I am just amused and somewhat surprised to see that it has survived more or less intact, for so long. All the other puffballs are gone. :( So I am giving this one special honors. :wink:

This tough little blighter has obviously decided that having made its bed, its going to lie in it - winter or not! Nicely framed by the ice dusted leaves, Cindy.

Thanks Darren and Carol. Just a fun picture- wish I'd had a better camera with me. No snow now, but the puffer persists!

I was going to say it's a tough nut but...it's a tough puffball. Beautiful job of framing the subject.

A funny image, it almost looks like a spy from another planet.
