Devil's Club

[PetersCreek]

Devil's Club...a prickly, thick-stalked plant with huge leaves...usually considered a nuisance plant. It sure is a nuisance to walk through. But, we're just starting to get some fall color here and this backlit specimen caught my eye while walking the trail from Thunderbird Falls...

Canon 20D, 55mm, 1/125s @ f/8, ISO 400

I only wish I'd picked the dead insects off of it.
