The pictures the iPhone takes are pretty amazing, I just wish there was a flash!

The phone takes a printable 7 x 5 high-res image – not bad when you remember those first smeary pics a phone would take.

My friend Tom gave me some Turkish hazelnuts fresh off his tree (he is in Clear Lake, WA, not in Turkey!) and these things reminded me of tribbles (remember the tribbles from Star Trek – the original? The Trouble with Tribbles? Of course you do..)

Anyhoo, these hazelnuts are gorgeous before they are harvested. They look dangerous, but the spikes are soft. I took a pic of them from about a foot away and it was, as expected, clear:

Then I got about an inch away for a detail, thinking the image would get fuzzy, but no! It’s completely in focus:

I’m impressed. Are you impressed? I’m impressed.
And those hazelnuts were yummy.
