Hedgehog!

It is beginning to look wintery, and the banksia flowers have died on the trees. They always remind me of hedgehogs. ha ha.

We don't get hedgehogs in Australia and the closest we have to them are the echidnas, but I remember hedgehogs well from when we lived in the UK. We regularly found them in our garden.

Great texture!

[Dorothy]

From this angle it looks like a giant brush on a street sweeper. 😊

[Diana]

Lovely shot and textures, it sure looks like a dried our hedgehog ;-)

[Zilli]

So big

[eDorre]

Neat POV. How interesting

[Rob Z]

Great shot Babs. We were amazed to see a hedgehog for the first time - they are so small and so fast!!

[Issi Bannerman]

It does look hedgehoggy!

[Suzanne]

Good capture of banksia drying out. Yes, hedgehogs are so unlike our echidnas even though they get compared.

[Tia]

Good capture with great texture.

[Susan Wakely]

Great pov.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh yes, that does look like a hedgehog- or its American cousin the Groundhog! Although, I've never seen one hanging from a tree. Fun shot.

[Wylie]

Sticking to May Gibbs big bad banksia men!

[Babs]

@clifford Ha ha yes it does look like a dead cat microphone.

Wow, so interesting looking.

[Susan Klassen]

Very interesting.

[Merrelyn]

Haha, I'd thought of them looking like hedgehogs.

[Olwynne]

What an amazing shot

[Pat Knowles]

Really oh dear! Hedgehogs are nice! I didn’t know that! It does look like a rather long hedgehog.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Come on Babs - you can not fool us !!! it looks more like a chimney-sweep brush !! ha !!

[Kate]

Such a different flower structure

[Kathy]

Such an interesting find, rich in texture. It may be much smaller than it seems, but is next to nothing from which I can get a good perspective.

[Carole Sandford]

Great textures!

[Rick]

Cool capture. Interesting plant growth.

[Kathy A]

They remind me of toilet brushes

Banksia is beautiful in all its stages - the foliage is beautiful too
