bits and pieces from my surroundings

after the machine harvester passes over the grape vines, they are left with hundreds of these little naked stems

they look like christmas trees

everything in the garrigue seems to have thorns

these thistle florettes are all from one branch of one plant

autignac, france

there is hedge full of these berries not far from our rented house

in english the plant is called blackthorn and the berries are called sloe

i like prunelle better

you can make gin from them, but you can also make preserves

this single wild carrot plant took four large pieces taped together
