Don - Slackwater (
In my yard while shooting the Oregon Grape, I saw this little one-inch wide device hanging on a bushes' branch. I thought it looked spider-like, or perhaps even alien, but was most puzzled with how it got attached.
Interesting, it must have been there from very early on.

It definitely looks alien-like Don! Well spotted and captured.

Don, very curious. What material is it made of -- rubber, metal?

I would think of spider if I saw it :)) Cool , silly shot :)) Happy ST :)

Very interesting! What is it? is the first question. And, indeed, how did it get there?
The juxtaposition of the new leaf and the iron is nice too.

@Wim van der Meij: I had the same question when I first saw it. I have no idea what it was supposed to do.
Terrific selective focus. Happy ST!

Such a cool shot does look like some sort of spider, it is intriguing how it got there as it looks solid maybe the tree grew up through it

Beautifully composed image, Don. I like that tender shoot coming forth.

One of the strangest things I have ever seen. Is it a flower or and "Animal"??

fun. looks like a fake spider, maybe one you'd put on your finger.

Wondering what it is for too! Could it be a spacer of some kind? Was it plastic or metal? Nice details :)

Gotta say this is QUITE curious.....would love to know what it is, and how it got there......Great shot of it, whatever it is !!!

Those alien critters can grow that attachment at will. Or, so I've heard. A cool and funny shot.

Had to look twice to determine it was not alive. Looks like something that might be wrapped around someone's face in an episode of X-Files. Nice DoF in this one too.

I suppose this is just by chance, part of a child's toy?
12 May 2010 9:26pm
you got me there.. when looking at the thumbnail, i thought you encountered a tarantula.. :D nice find!

Hmmm, maybe someone's alien implant fell out. It is peculiar!
