Scanner photography

It's rather amazing how much junk I carry around in my pocket all the time!

Does it count?

"Scanner  Photography" is kind of fun.  If you place an object on your scanner with the lid open and scan in a slightly darkened room you get an amazingly good image.  I have been playing with the technique recently scanning various items and came up with the following.  The image consists of a single layer of coins (all US, pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters) placed in a hoop on the scanner.  How many coins are there, and what is the total amount of money present?

This is MY squirrel!

I was taking a walk when I saw this Red-Tailed(?) hawk grab a squirrel out of a tree.  He (she?) obviously wanted me to know that this squirrel was taken!

I love the way he is making sure the squirrel doesn't take off (or maybe he is just trying to hide his treasure).

 About an hour later dinner was still in progress.
