1. Hauntingly beautiful.

Honestly, I thought it was going to be a photo of a bug. I like bugs. Thanks for sharing.

3. Thanks. Honey made from locust flowers is incredible. You can made beer from the

pulp of the seed pods.

2. Haunting shot.

I love it.

4. Thank you. I love old art movies, and this seemed like an example of foreshadowing.

5. My grandparents used to have those in their yard.

Beautiful trees.

6. But no fun to climb.

7. That's true.

10. Camelops and giant ground sloths would have loved to munch on leaves and tender branch ends.

Trees don't like that. That might explain the thorns.

8. Ouch

9. Yes, they are very sharp. I guess it was good at stopping giant ground sloths and other such

creatures from eating their leaves and branches.

11. Painfully beautiful. :)

Beautiful.....but, OUCH!

Truly wonderful photo.

14. They made wicked weapons in the hands of a nine year old kid.

12. I like the contrast

Sharp thorns against a soft focus background.

So you like art films? Me too. This would remind me of an Ingmar Bergman film, perhaps The Virgin Spring, or something along those lines. Or maybe Carl Dreyer, Vampyre? A good movie to watch this time of year! Fritz Lang in his German Expressionist peak (I'm thinking Siegfried)

I always like looking at your pictures, alfredo!

13. Thanks. I was thinking of Virgin Spring too. The best revenge movie ever.
