Teasel Top

Uploaded: September 18, 2012

Description


---
We normally shoot teasels in late summer or autumn when the blossoms have gone and the shapely skeleton stands gracefully like a ballerina, swaying in the breeze.
---
For THIS teasel shot, I was standing beside a large pond at one of the stops on the Bucks County (Audubon-sponsored) Barn Tour last July. It's a view of a midsummer teasel, looking down on its blossom.
