Stumped Again

I was stumped (ouch!) for an appropriate image when I remembered I had a few photos of a stump, all that remains of a large cherry tree we had to cut down a few years ago.

This pic and the one after are both from the same roll as the other shots I took in my yard. I used my Nikkor 35-135 AF lens for all the shots on the roll. I was zoomed in fairly close for this shot.

Not too shabby for a backyard photo.
