The Presidio
Gosh ... must have been November, 2013. Time flies!
A fascinating historical site, worth visiting.
An aging gourd and a bit of thorny something-or-other against an ocotillo fence.

cool
A very great photo !!!!!!
What an amazing still life! Perfect for black and white. I am going to have to look for a new name for you. Ansel perhaps.
Cool capture love the B/W
Amazing capture Tara. God bless.
Wonderful capture - B&W really works here
What a wonderful composition & collection of textures! Those thorns look deadly...
What a superb shot this is, Tara and it is perfect for greyscale.
Nice image was in an prime lens or an zoom
A great thorny stilllife which looks beautiful in black and white. 😀
Despite the thorns, there's just something calming and serene about this photo, Tara! Perhaps the feeling of serenety you had when taking this photo is coming through. Whatever the case, I love it.
Beautiful B&W--those thorns look deadly!!
This would make a great Halloween entry....a bit spooky with that aged gourd and those demonic thorns. :) The effect in B&W is superb.
Oh wow, this is just so cool!!
This image holds a lot of fascination for me: first of all - it's in monochrome, a perfect choice here indeed ! followed by the contents - namely a hollowed Gourd/ Pumpkin: 'It's Not All It's Cracked Up To Be' (Cinderella - Rockefella)
- but the thorns are which give this pic the final death knell, to make it look complete... incredible art, Tara
Oh Tara ... I looked at your beautiful gallery ( I was too long no here) and my eyes are always got stuck on this. It is coherent in itself to the smallest detail. No stylistic incongruity to see. Everything fits!! Old, bony, withered and battered / broken. And the perfect choice to monochrome. This still life no better way to set in scene. You have a good eye ... as always * smile *

Love, love, LOVE this ...
