Spheres and spikes

This was taken on the way back from our Sunday evening walk out into the fields, still looking for b&w abstracts for Get Pushed, although I am not tagging this for that too. I liked the patterns of spikes and spheres in this seed head

Three good things from Sunday:
1. Both our prescriptions were in when we went to pick them up (asthma meds for me), although only I'd had the text;
2. Lovely sunny wander in the fields in the evening;
3. I put my favourite pair of shorts back into commission (they are too loose now) by playing around with sashiko and boro effects

Thank you for looking and your amazing support

Ooh I like this!

Considering what the spikes of my roses and other plants in the garden, these look very dangerous. But you have captured it very well and b&w is perfect to bring out the details.

Nice image!

They look like they could really hurt!
Your b&w really high lights the spikes.

Those spikes look like nasty thorns.

Very interesting result, it makes me think of something in outer space.

[Louise]

Quite alien-like! And I had to Google sashiko and boro...very interesting, would like to see the end result.

Fierce looking plant and great shot!

Taken out of context looks like something under the microscope

This looks dangerous- at least to the fingers! Nature does have some very cool patterns.

Hi Shanne, sorry for the delay in posting you a challenge - we were without power for a few days. My challenge to you is to work with the rule of odds.

This works for b&w abstract. Very interesting look.

[Graeme Stevens]

Very cool, I like it

[Fisher Family]

You have a very good eye for an unusual shot - a super result!

Looks like allium. They do have amazing seedheads

[Shanne]

@casablanca it is an allium, just gone over, so still green

[Corinne]

Almost an abstract !
