I am hoping this may be part of a magnolia tree. If so, I can link my photo to "Sugar Magnolia" by the Grateful Dead. From their 1970 album "American Beauty" :-) Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ Sugar Magnolia ~ Grateful Dead Extract from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Beauty_(album) - "Upon release, American Beauty entered the Billboard 200 chart, ultimately peaking at number 30 during a nineteen-week stay in January 1971. On July 11, 1974, the album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, and it later reached Platinum and Double Platinum certification in 1986 and 2001, respectively. In 2003, the album was ranked number 258 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time."

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE 11 AUGUST 2018 ZOOM BURST A word of explanation :-) I initially tried this technique with my little Nikon but didn't have any success. I then fished out my Nikon D50. I have just noticed ip says this was taken on 1 January 2005!! I actually took this a few days ago! The D50 has been in a cupboard and was probably last used a couple of years ago so I don't understand why it has reverted back to a 2005 date. On 1 January 2005 I was likely in Guernsey and definitely not photographing Coke cans :-) No doubt there is a logical explanation :-) And, here comes a wayward link for 'Sight and Sound' :-) Coca Cola can be known as Coke and Coke can also refer to Cocaine. Hope you are following me so far :-) "Truckin" by the Grateful Dead features on their classic album "American Beauty" from 1970. "Truckin" has references to Cocaine. Job done methinks :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Truckin' ~ Grateful Dead
