A Shot For The Sake Of A Shot

We spent the day driving around dirt tracks at the back of Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak. We ended
up at a dead end track in seemingly the middle of nowhere and the previous visitors had obviously used
the location for an extreme amount of target practice and left hundred of shells lying around.
I decided to use this shot to emphasize the point of PADing, i.e. a shot for the sake of a shot ;->

"Holy crap" (as my granddaughter would say, one of her new phrases.) Thats alot of empty shells. Fun shot, no pun intended. V

I love the smiley face and from the thumb I thought it was something completely different than what it is! I love that. I saw red sheets and tea light candles (turned upside down!) Weird, huh!?!
