Sphere mysteries

Gutter pingpong balls

I was down the street when I spotted these white spheres by the curb. I thought, “what are turtle eggs doing in the gutter,” quickly followed by, “those can’t be turtle eggs!”

And so they aren’t: pingpong balls. Still: why a pair in the gutter?

Deflated red sphere

This deflated sphere I couldn’t identify, even after a close visual inspection. No, I didn’t touch, even with a stick. And the organic sphere next to it…some kind of seed/fruit element, also unknown.
