Sideways skull. Did Jim say bread? I don't see it, but maybe because I am looking at it after dinner
I had a discussion with someone about the ability to see faces in things. They can't see them, but I see them in the clouds, as well as the skull in your shot.

Wow. Those woods are loaded. Do you know what they are/were?
Canopy is basically full down here. So the end of wildflower season in the wood. Off to the fields now
I did not venture too deep into the woods as I would have trampled quite a bit of vegetation and flowers. I did shoot from the path's edge, and did some log hopping to get a little ways in. What I recall seeing on this outing was Cut-Leaf Toothwort, Trout Lily, Wood Anemone, Wild Geranium. I hope to catch some bloodroot, purple cress, wild phlox, trillium (our state flower), wild columbine, and wild lupine as the season goes on. Not all at this one location, but at two or three other parks.
This was actually the first time I've explored this particular park this past weekend, it's a park noted for it's historical significance for the Battle of Fallen Timbers.
About one year ago I headed out to shoot my fruit tree blossoms with the 200mm f4 ais micro. There were only a handful of peach blossoms, but a giant Pileated woodpecker crashed through a neighbors tree, and landed on a tree in my yard. I managed to get one in focus shot. Then a Robin got mad at me and complain about 20 feet away - again the micro delivered excellent focus. So today I paired the 200mm with the modified tc-16a making a 320mm micro lens on the D800. A Lilac bush is making flower heads, but I didn't make it more than 8 feet before a half dozen Robins began buzzing me. I have more keepers than is possible to share, but the old micro is a fun small bird lens too.
Steve, we need you to say something about Nikon on.........
I think Jim's penitence needs to be whatever Barbara bakes next shipped to us.
I am deeply traumatised by what is going on.
So please be patient with me ..... It is such shocking speech, that I am struggling to compose my thoughts and mind
But it does seem that straying from the path of purity is the new black, I can't believe that Uncle Curtis envisioned this outcome when he allowed for other varieties of bodies. It was only a matter of time before other lenses got in on the act too ......
Anyway I will stick with my holy order of Nikon on Nikon and continue to wear the monks habit in penance for any blasphemy I may have spoken.
Anyone who feels the need to take issue with my personal stance and pilgrimage feel free to do so ..... only please do it some place else.
Comment done, and rant over....... now can I go back to being the old curmudgeon that I seem to have become.
If its not Nikon on Nikon, then it may be nice, but it aint pure in my book ....
And yes, it is part of our chimney. Barbara said she couldn't see it.
