Thank you Kate - I had joined it with a dead leaf, but now that you point it out, this is probably more appropriate. It's funny the things that catch one's attention. I was out walking the dog, and I happened to notice this rusty spoke protruding from a telephone pole. I was so intrigued with it that when i got home, I retrieved my camera, went back, and shot a few photos of if from different angles with the light of the setting sun. Cheers! Sandy
