303/365: "There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills." ~ Buddha

2 more pictures in notes above ! :)

This afternoon, the dogs and I went down to the gate and I looked for photos as we went along. I wandered over to one of our blackberry bushes and noticed that the sun was making some of the thorns glow. I had a good time looking for thorns the were in the right position, and after looking through my different sets of images, I ended up picking this one for the multiple thorns and the interesting bokeh and light behind!
