hidden hunting traps

Wow, wasn't expecting that.. and the surprise was a total delight (unless of course you're actually a bear in which case it sucks big time)!

Thanks for your positive comments, Lyric Man. I agree about the bear. It could also be a fox or other critter hiding under the leaves ready to pounce on its dinner. They would be hidden hunting traps too. //Warren
