"And close beside this aged thorn,/There is a fresh and lovely sight,/A beauteous heap, a hill of moss,/Just half a foot in height./All lovely colours there you see,/All colours that were ever seen,/And mossy network too is there,/As if by hand of lady fair/The work had woven been,/And cups, the darlings of the eye,/So deep is their vermillion dye." - William Wordsworth

Don't back into this one..ouch..looks like the type of thorns that grow on my Bougainvillea.. always scratch the heck out of my arms when it is time to cut them back..

This one, too, is soooo wonderfully unusual!!! I love the shape of the thorn (is that what it is?) and the marvelous texture of the branch ... but how you've lit them both with the soft but bright yellow, blue and green behind is magnificent!!!
