Did you put that leaf there? Fess up.

A few years ago, Tess won contest with almost the same image I submitted, only she put aren leaf in hers, and she won forum contest and $50. Since then I have antagonistic views with regards to leaves that didn't free fall into place.

The funny thing was, the images were very close except for the leaf, and she got triple the votes that I did. A leaf can make a lot of difference.

Super Takumar 200/4 on K-50. I was NOT planning on birding with this setup, but the tree sparrows had other ideas.

I helped celebrate my granddaughter's 5th birthday and decided to give my old Takumar 200 a go. That old glass really shines.
