707 - Jabba

Guess I'll have to start this one.  Couldn't resist this face in a dead log on the river flats.  Looked a lot like Jabba the Hutt to me.

Sony ILCE-6000 (a6000), ISO-800, f4.0, 1/1600

Cool, Gary!  I probably would have gone with a frog, but Jabba works just fine.

Yep, Jabba is a good description, Gary.  The alternative that strikes me is froggy (and I see that Dennis has also seen that.).  Well seen and cleanly presented, I'm still grinning.

I just ran across an obscure movie in an ad for the halloween display at Seattle's Experience Music Project on horror movies.  There were a pair of movies called Critters and Critters 2 the title characters of which could be twins of your log (with far more teeth)sadsad

Hopefully, this is a link to an image (to avoid copyright issues):

No luck on the link-I thought this was the method.

Dennis;  The link worked in the email notification for your comment so I did get to see what you were referring to.  The similarity is definitely there.  Must be a toothy relative!
