I just couldn’t pass up the joke…
I shot this in a trinket shop in Santa Fe, New Mexico. For what it’s worth, these little guys are deceptively difficult to photograph — at least, my camera’s auto-focus was really sure it wanted to focus on the front face of the walnuts when I wanted it to focus on the carvings inside. If it weren’t for manual override, the shot would have been a loss.
In the interest of full disclosure, the joke comes courtesy of the shopkeeper…
