I will probably not use this one, but I was playing around. This is a close up of the centre of a $2 Canadian coin, a "Twoonie". For those that do no know, the $1 coin has a Loon on it, and became known instantly as a Loonie. When the $2 coin came out a few years later, hence Twoonie. There are no plans to replace $5 bills, but we did just introduce plastic bills.

Glad you are finding this thread educational as you have a hunger for knowledge here are some interesting facts:-

One-third pound stalk of broccoli contains more vitamin C than 204 apples

Before 1928, yo-yos used to be called bandalores in the United States

Serving ice cream on cherry pie was once illegal in Kansas

Paul Hunn holds the record for the loudest burp, which was 118.1 decibels, which is as loud as a chainsaw

An armadillo can walk under water

I was scouring the garden for a likely image for the macro weekend when I spotted a juvenile green orb spider.
Unfortunately for me it was in a very difficult position, as I tried to get closer I knocked the leaf with the spider on with my camera lens and my subject disappeared. So just finished up with this not quite in focus image.

Still there's always tomorrow
