<p>Mary, I see a hung over cabbage patch doll, or maybe just too many mushrooms. It's wondering, "woooow, how did I get here.....where am I? ;-)) Marjorie Trash Heap (remember Fragel Rock?) came to mind, but I think she'd come to in a compost pile, and she'd know how to get home.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Haha, do you think she gets up and walks around at night? Laura, the cemetery has a gate, and I really don't want to be locked inside overnight to find out the truth. - Now we are getting silly. ;-)</p>

<p>Mary, isn't that what high ISO and a long lens are for? Levity is good.</p>

<p>David Stephens, I am constantly amazed at your wildlife images. :)<br>

Went to MA's Mount Auburn Cemetery this weekend. Saw this interesting tree stump. Do you see a "Doughboy", an owl, or ... resting comfortably?</p>

<p>Thank you Mary. It's a great joy in my life.</p>

<p>Your stump looks, to me, a bit like a giant turtle eating a platypus. ;-)</p>
