There's a little bit of Sunday left here (Central time USA) so I'll pick photos tomorrow morning!

Results are in! Credit where it's due, this is an excellent photo! UKPK Salt is also one of my favorites.

Second place goes to this one. I'm also a fan of PM2s, and have been playing with M4 myself lately(only have an M4 Native though).

Very nice! I went out looking yesterday and didn't find any. Been getting moisture, but now we're struggling to get temps above 45F.

^We’ve been having the same problem here. Had a few days with sun and temps even into the 60’s, but nothing enough for a big flush apparently. It’s funny though, all the places I would normally expect to find some morels have been a bust, but then I find some in unlikely places. It might not seem it from the perspective of my photo, but this was a random patch of fir needles and big leaf maple leaves in the middle of a clay-dirt logging road. Somehow some spores landed in the leaf litter…little to no mycelium. I still count it as a win.

I thought weather has been a big problem in Central Illinois until guys I know brought in 12 and 6 pound loads out of two completely different areas . We have a bar that has a yearly Morel contest and every year someone brings in a solo weighing over a pound . Dan

I am very happy that you like it. This photo was taken during a successful family trip to the Baltic Sea. My son fell asleep in the evening and I had less than half an hour until sunset to go to the beach and take pictures.

honestly, this is one of my favorite images i've seen on this forum ever, including calendar submissions. also, i've been looking at this knife after my recent trip to germany and you may have made it harder for me to pass on just from the nice photo. i think the se version would pair nicely with a lil native slipit for my travel into cities, states, and countries with strict laws.
I bought this knife just for vacation trips. Every year we fly with the family to Greece or Spain for holidays. They don't have a particularly restrictive knife law there, last year I had Native Salt, but the UKPK is 100% legal there. Plus, it's lightweight, easy to dyed and rustproof. Last week I dyed it celadon/light green, I'll be posting more pics soon.

It was an excellent choice for last week's winner! The lights and temperature of the picture were really bringing the sea, beach and UKPK to another level.

I had the ATR 1 models also , I liked everything but the clip , so sold them . When the ATR2 come out that issue was resolved and I was a happy camper . I think it is the most beautiful blade in my Spyderco collection. Dan
