Ever since I started shooting IR - I notice the bones of trees. Makes me think of that funny song by Allan Sherman "I see Bones" 
5DmkII with the 24mm f2.8 ais
Lyrics to the song: "I See Bones"
The doctor was looking at the X-ray
And I asked him, "What do you see?"
And he kept on looking at the X-ray
As he said in French to me:
"I see bones.
I see gizzards and bones,
And a few kidney stones
Among the lovely bones.
I see hips
And fourteen paper clips,
Three asparagus tips
Among the lovely bones.
I see things in your peritoneum
That belong in the British Museum.
I see your spine,
And your spine looks divine.
It's exactly like mine.
Now doesn't that seem strange.
And in case you use pay telephones
There's two dollars in change,
Among your lovely bones.
Oh hello there, Nurse.
Come over here and look at this X-ray.
It's really remarkable.
Look at this.
Isn't the lumbar vertebrae supposed to be connected to the clavicle?
Well I know, but with Scotch tape?
Hey, look what's in there.
Look at that, it's a stamp.
It's a 1922 Mckinley ultramarine blue with imperfect perforations.
I've gotta get that out and put in my collection.
Look in there, there's printing.
What does it say in there?
"U.S. Certified Grade A."
Look at this, fascinating.
See those little round things.
Know what those are?
Those are M & M's.
Those people are right.
They don't melt!
Among the lovely bones
mini horseshoe creek
same tree different orientation

Thanks, Jim.
I am sure it did and probably on some sort of blacklist. The security cameras are everywhere, one cannot scratch their nose without someone watching.

HarryThat's a cool story.
Off-topic: Question for Harry. Back during the 1964 presidential election it was pointed out that Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona in IIRC 1912, but Arizona didn't become a state until 1913. Technically that made him ineligible to be president! Izzat true? I suppose I could google those dates. Like I said, off-topic.
Jim, Barry Goldwater was born on Jan.1,1909. Arizona became a state Feb.14,1912. Arizona was an authorized territory of the US and he, and those born as such, had/have birthright citizenship. This is the way most people in this country and their forefathers received citizenship unless they moved here from abroad and applied for and received naturalization papers. We receive a birth certificate when born here certifying that birth, not a document granting citizenship or naturalization in writing, so I suspect not too many of us can actually "produce" a paper that declares we are a citizen absent naturalization.
Aren't you so glad you asked? Laura will be so proud of me.

I took hunders, maybe thousands of B/W photos of t he t rip, published a book for the drill team and an entry into an international Drill publication.Harry

That story was put out for the 1964 election but I don't recall when in the year or perhaps even 1963. So I would have been a high school sophomore or junior. Details of events have become blurry, like bad bokeh.
