Dead Thistle

[Steve Boykin]

+ things growing in on a log + leaves growing in water + very grumpy man because his dogs decided at 8 PM to take off and chase something behind the tree line behind him even though he was hot, sweaty, tired from walking 3 hours in 90+ degree weather, had earlier rather cleverly kneeled in a fire ant bed so his knee and lower right calf was covered in painful fire ant welts, and he was categorically ready to go home.

Friday PM.

No. 4 is gorgeous. No. 5 is scary!

Nice pics again Steve, the log for me is the most interesting and the plants in the pond.

No. 4 is gorgeous. No. 5 is scary!

I agree. No 4 really is very good. Should we have a moderator look into the likelihood that No 5 violates some sort of forum code of conduct?

As soon as I opened no.4 I went "wow". The last one is a bit scary, but then Rob seems to have set the bar for this type of thing...

Don't know what you mean, Lesley! (exit stage left, in a cream puff)

One has to suffer for one's art Steve! They are only trying to help!

Nice set but No 4 is my favourite too. You do look grumpy though.

Thank you for pointing this out to me. How callous and insensitive of me not notice their valiant, yet vain attempts to inspire my creativity.

I'm sure somewhere deep in my subconscious I was smiling Pete.......

Also I think if I shaven and used some hair dye yesterday, I might have been a tad more mansome.
