I love this kind of flower! Looks like your Sunday morning outing was very fruitful, and you handled the bright sun very well. Still wish I could have made it there for a mini-get together!

B-17 bombing run

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
I would love to see and hear one of these in flight. Everything about this shot is just "right". Too bad DPC don't have sound with the images.
My son's flight instructor was a WW2 bomber pilot and instructor. He's 88 now, has his own airstrip and hangars, and is still giving flying lessons.

"Cool" macro shot Scott! It's not the way I would want my windshield to look, here in Florida.
It looks like some sort of ferns or plant life shot until you open the thumb. It would be even more mysterious if it was rotated 180, to make it look more like ferns. I wouldn't have guessed what it was without your description, even though I studied crystal formation in physics 101 about 40 years ago.

Comment by Melethia:
Very sad, but nicely presented if that makes sense. Dead things rarely score well unless your name is Joey Lawrence. I think he got away with a dead bird or a dead butterfly or something.

Well, geez, Scott - you shot a dead bird!! (Photographically speaking.) I actually gave you a 7 for poignancy but I'm betting a lot of people wanted this off their screens as fast as possible! Now if I'd given you a 1, maybe you could have gotten the Brown ;-)

Very interesting take on and treatment of the subject. (I also document found corpses when they present. sfa is right, though, and you have the 17! ones to prove it).

Um, Oh. It was the dead bird curse that got you.
:-((

And neither of us got the coveted Brown...
