Burrs

The Scarboroughs have several acres of land that also border a really nice farm. There is a very pretty pond just out of eyesight from their backyard. Just before everyone arrived for our Thanksgiving meal, Jeff and I took a stroll down to the pond so I could take some pictures. I really enjoyed getting close ups of many grasses and weeds. This shot was no exception. The color of the ground is so vibrant, but most of the flowers were like these burrs, brown and just a shadow of the way they were in the summer.

There's so much beauty in the detail.

[Rick Schies]

These little weeds and stickers, as I call them make cool close-ups.

@sarasdadandmom Thank you Terry!
@jmj Thanks Jennifer!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick- sitckers is a good name for them. I was trying to be very careful and I still brought one inside attached to my sweater!

[Bev]

I hate those things. They are hard to get out of fur and hair!!! Great shot of them, though!

[Colleen]

I think these types of plants are soooo interesting, well shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues You certainly have that right Bev- pesky little buggers!
@httpgeffed Thank you Colleen! They're interesting until you have to detach them from your sweater. (o:

Thanks for your faithful comments. I'm chained to the computer tonight so that I can get caught up on everyone's pictures!

Wonderful detail. I love the husks, burrs, and seedpods as much as the flowers in full bloom.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@changingtides Thanks Allie- me too!

[bkb in the city]

Nice shot but I find that they stick to everything if you get to close

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bkbinthecity Yes they do! One came inside with me too! Thanks bkb!

i have always told people that when you get into photography, especially as a hobby, you get to look at everything differently - anything has a lovely side to it. even the dried out plants. nice shot, ann.

[Crickle]

very well done! I love getting these kinds of shots as well.

@summerfield Thank you Summerfield- yes you do look at EVERYTHING differently. It's amazing how many unique and unexpected subjects are photographed on this site to become amazing pictures.
@crickle1969 Thank you Crickle! It's so interesting to pay attention to those tiny details that you normally pass by.
