Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: spine

This is my alternate pick for today. I had a hard time choosing which was better for the pick of the day...do you have a preference? (By the way, I decided that this image didn't want any frame. I tried different ones but in the end, it looks best without one! :)

I had to work until about 8pm tonight, and though I could have taken a picture inside, I was restless and wanted to go out, so I put on the macro flash and out I went, up to the stand of teasel! Once there I lost myself in a world of wonderful thorns, spines, spirals and prickles! What fun! Teasel is amazing to look at closely, isn't it? This picture and my alternate show the dried leaves from a teasel. Nature is truly magnificent! :) Hugh Miller (1802–1856) was a self-taught Scottish geologist and writer, folklorist and an evangelical Christian. Wikipedia: Hugh Miller
