A stand of last years’ teasel awaits the day.


Teasel heads call to me. Though I know they are a ‘weed’ I like how the stalks are so straight and how the seed heads are so fuzzy. They are a favourite subject.

The ghostly suggestion of a building – or is it a trick of the imagination? – lurks behind a stand of teasel.


Many things wore a coat of hoarfrost yesterday morning. This teasel head was one of the many touched by delicate beauty.
