Description
On a lovely day in late January, Denise (MrsRatbag) and Bill (bmac62) and I went out exploring. We stopped by a lake where Denise got some great shots, and I got mostly crap! LOL! There was a notable exception ...
Alongside the nearby road was a gorgeous stand of teazles. Bill and I experimented with different shots, and I was particularly happy with the ones I took with the flash.
These really are as prickly as they look. When I was a teenager, we had a big pot of teazles in the entry hall at the house, and it was a good idea not to back into them. Guests would invariably touch them to see if they were soft or not. Ummm ... NOT! Ouch!

love the colors
Excellent lighting, composition and POV! Well done!
Oh, these are gorgeous! I never knew what these were called, but then we don't have as many of them in the Chicago area as I'd suspect. We do have a not as prickly variant: the stems are smoother and the prickly heads are more hooked for sticking to fur (or shoestrings...they love sticking to shoestrings.) Wonderful color and I love flash experiments. They're so much fun and the color is stunning. Beautiful. Gorgeous. I like this a lot!
Ouch! Great contrast, Clive
A breathtaking capture. Beautiful hues and colors. Fantastic details - even the stems have tiny thorns. So well captured. Dana
