Call me Spike
Posted on 14 February 2008
Frost covered weeds still manage to grow and thrive in the cold.
I saw this wonderful speckled white plant growing from a ditch yesterday morning and it looked very ominous. When I converted it to black and white I saw myself looking at something abstract, possibly evil, something that could be microscopic or huge.
I wouldn’t hang this photo on a wall, but I love it!

I would!
Just stumbled across your blog – I really like this pic and your description.
Could see it being used for an extravagant gothic type of wallpaper!

or the big worms in Dune.

WOW this is a really cool shot I LOVE it!! And your right it does look a little evil but in a very cool way!
Excellent shot…
Beautiful patterns… remind me fractals…
