No Happy Endings

Poor Rex - he only wanted to read books where the dinosaur didn't die at the end. I'm the same way - I won't read a book or see a movie when I know the dog is not going to make it to the end - I was terribly traumatised when I read Old Yeller as a child...

 

One of my wackier contributions to Macro Mondays, for the theme 'Bookmark'. This dinosaur bookmark (complete with its green tassel) has a long history - my mother gave it to me decades ago, but I found it easily in one of my science books.

 

This shot was very fiddly to set up (working with even a badly-behaved snail would have been easier). I needed to carefully adjust the positions of the books in the background to get all the relevant titles in view, and still readable using f18.

 

No dinosaurs were harmed in the making of this photograph.
