Guarding the stake.

More toadstools .... Duh!
These are brittlestems of some sort and were attached to the base of this garden stake.

Yes, the "Taks" are not ready for oblivion just yet. I have a couple and they don't disappoint.

They certainly don't disappoint. Takumars are heartily recommended to all - the M42 threaded versions anyway. They reused the name in a series of cheapo lenses in K mount that are nowhere near as good. If you have never used manual focus glass then this is the way to go for good experiences.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
