Thorns - as beautiful as the rose they protect

I have taken a few photos of this rosebush - some of the beautiful flowers it produces but the stem and its thorns and the way they look at certain times of the day always draw me to them. I attracted a couple of strange looks from the neighbours walking their dogs..I realised not because the lens was pointing at the stem rather than the rose above but because I was out in the front yard wearing my daggy PJs and fluffy slippers with mussed hair, crouching and stepping around the thorny bushes like a crazy woman
Wonderful pov detail and processing they look pretty sharp

@paul2782 hahaha they are - I was stabbed a few times and have been in the past. The rose is actually beautiful....it is a Mr Lincoln which was one of my mum's favourites - it has a wonderful perfume.

@paulaw thankyou Paula, I love the way the thorns and trunk are as interesting and beautiful as the flowers. Not as soft though, was spiked a few times while trying to get the shots lol
