From around 2010...

The rod looking things are slender pine needles. I found it among the likens one the north shore of one of the islands in the middle of Yellowstone Lake. I was using a Cannon PowerShot 120SX, it didn't have a viewfinder, just a monitor on the back so if something was at a weird angle, I had to guess at the focus, but I got pretty good after a while. For a cheap little point&shoot, it had a great lens and took nice macros.
