We recently found a pudding stone/boulder buried in our
woods with the top showing. The rest is buried. It's huge.
Even if we dug it up, we would not be able to lift it
without machinery. I'm going to dig around it this
spring when the ground thaws to see how big it is.

Some people will use the large ones as landscaping
boulders for their yard. Some are worth quite a bit.

I googled them and found lots of info on them.

Michigan Pudding Stone - 4 lbs
I have a theory that these are old fruit cakes
that have petrified, as even Neanderthals would not eat them.

If you click on the pic twice to enlarge it, one can see all of the quartz in it.

Chickadees are fearless and love a free handout in the winter months.
Raw shelled peanuts. I even get an occasional tufted titmouse landing
on my hand for the same.

With the exception of the perimeter pieces,
all the others have the same shape. This one
took a little longer because of that.

Many of these can be seen at Lake Narnia.

I was disappointed to only get one comment on this recent post.



Posing for Corgis Are Cuties monthly,
striking cuteness on display. She enjoys
long walks on sandy beaches and treats.

Cardinal - Window crash rescue. My wife held it for 20 minutes
before he flew off. A Sharp Shinned Hawk has been terrorizing the
bird feeders lately, and birds scatter when he decides to grab one.
Mostly smaller finches, but the other birds don't know that. They
all flee for their lives, sometimes into a window that they normally are
very aware of.

A few months ago I posted a picture of several baseball caps I have collected over the decades. I found some more in a closet to add to what was in the other picture.

The one in the front row, far right, is a Chattanooga Lookouts cap. When our oldest son had one foot and did not or could not go on a vacation with me, the wife, and younger son, the rest of us went to Nashville, going through Chattanooga, TN, where I picked up the cap.

My wife wanted to know "what is the meaning of that cap?" asking it in a tone of voice made me think that she thought the correct answer was "The Chattanooga Lookouts encourage and promote voyeuism." I just told her that Tennessee had a military tradition and that a lookout was the guard or sentry at an army camp. That and nearby Lookout Mountain. The Lookouts are a minor league baseball team.

When we got home, I was wearing the cap. Older son asked "What's that supposed to be? A peeping Tom?"

Talking of caps - they're not really my style and I'd forgotten the cap I got as part of the case candy with my Mule.

An unplanned purchase, but sitting in the window of a local bric a brac shop at a price I couldn't walk away from. It's a little shabby, but everything seems to function and I'm looking forward to running a film through it. There's a battery in it, but no apparent life in the meter. Not bothered about that. My first medium format was one of these, maybe a 124 without the G suffix and I always regretted trading it in for a very worn out Rolleicord.

It's just beautiful even if it's no more functional than a brick.

How about starting a thread for analog film photography and cameras?

Burg Rabenstein (castle Ravenstone, really)

I went there today to get info about holding a concert in the cave below the castle (at the base of the rock face, behind the fence) but it's closed until later this month
