Could it be holly bush? I even wondered about greenstick? Your series has been great and obviously lots of though has gone into your images - well done.
I thought the same as Dianne. Holly Bush. Hve loved your pairs theme. You will have to think up another theme now. Seeing as you have discovered what etsooi means, maybe a month of shots being given a 'seeing to' as Marnie calls it.
@onewing Thanks again for giving me the idea and having a go Babs, both images where taken within a 5 minute walk from my home, the answer is "Hollywood", will have to give some thought to my next theme;)
