We thought these plant bushes were wonderful, until my neighbour mentioned how poisonous they are.

 

I completely removed one this evening. The other will 'go' tomorrow.

I didn't do much with a camera this week, last minute desperation I took a shot of the cartouche on my 1943 M-1 Rifle. 

 

Nikon D750  Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro (272E)  1/100  f5 M1000

 

Every rifle built by Springfield Armory bears the cartouche of the commanding officer of the armory along with S.A. (Springfield Armory) above it along with the Armory Wheel beside it on the upper left of the stock just forward of the rear sight below the receiver.  This cartouche has been worn along the top, or stamped lightly along the top where the wood begins to curve.  The cartouche is that of Col. Earl McFarland commanding, late 1942-early 1943.  The rifle was built January 1943 at the National Armory at Springfield Mass.  Although over 4,000,000 M-1 Rifles were made during WWII few retained their cartouche after the war.  Most were sanded down and refinished or restocked with a simple P for a ''Proof'' mark at the bottom flat of the pistol grip behind the trigger and some were stamped with the arsenal where the work was done.  Though this stock bears it's share of dents, scratches, dings, and rough handling, it escaped sanding or replacement.
