DSC_2322-EDIT by mazdamattc.
This guy might need a four leaf clover to survive another summer of racoon attacks. My 2nd shot on Explore! The highest it has made it is #117 for July 10, 2008. Thanks for the compliment, Interestingness algorithm!

I didn't notice the "Lucky" theme! Maybe I'll try to continue it. Lottery ticket, anyone?

I'm glad you all like it! As to it being conceptual, it's not. I was playing in the backyard with the kids, 55mm micro and D40 over my shoulder, looking for bugs to photograph with one eye, the other eye trying to concentrate on whatever the kids were doing. I don't know how the clover got into the rain barrel with the fish. Maybe one of the kids was "feeding" him. Anyway, I saw it and thought it looked interesting enough to snap about 5 shots. In other words, it is about as far from a planned concept as you can get, as are almost all of my photographs. I've never been very good at planning photos. I'm more of a "react when I see it" sort of guy.

My condolences, Basegrinder. This guy is a survivor of several years of urban racoon attacks in a 50 gallon rain barrel. He has a roomate who has survived in the same barrel for something like 5 years. They were feeders, too. I don't even feed them, they eat the mosquito larvae, and had to live under ice for periods of a few days a couple times this winter. I think he really does need a four leaf clover!
