Deborah, this is a "guard tree?" Got to go look that up.
Pam, it looked like a stegasaurus (sp?) to me so prehistoric it was...That's why I shot it on it's side. #2053716

Very good shot Terry! I have one of these trees in my backyard, very spiney. I took a shot of the trunk and branch once, probably still have it. I was fasinated with the spines. You did great here. I'm in San Diego, by the way. #2054170Kaye Burazin November 09, 2005
ouch!!! looks so real that I reached out to touch it. Texture and detail are so vivid Terry. #2054271Jill Flynn November 09, 2005
