Hi Chuck,
I think you are correct. I was ducking beneath holly branches, and had the
leaves on a low branch sticking barbs through my pants leg, so I missed it.
I tried another shot, but it was no better. I promised my wife a photo,
since this may be the last year that one is alive, and had to make the best
of what I got. I may try another one tomorrow.
