Time for the Saturday PhotoHunt again, and this week the subject is
pointed.
I took this photo of a rose branch in my front garden on Thursday evening, just before 9 o'clock, with the late sun illuminating the pointed thorns. It was a beautiful evening.

A wonderful photo and now I know why (((it hurts))) so much when one penetrates a gardeners finger!!
That's pointed alright.
I still feel the sting when I was pricked with rose thorns. Nice take on the theme.
That's a great shot. I love the lighting. Happy weekend.
That is such good thinking re pointed & it's a great shot too - lovely light & so clear.
May have to consider joining this photo meme too - off to check it out more.

Good close up shot of the rose ..
Lovely shot. Our roses are having a rest at the moment.
Now that's pointed!
Have a great weekend. :)
What a wonderful photo. And here in my country, 9 o' clock is very dark, the whole year-round :)
Now there's a shot that's straight to teh point! Perfect for this week's theme. Happy weekend
Perfectly fits the theme! Happy PH:)
Pointy rose thorns. Ouch! When my wife and I moved into our first home 5 years ago there was a puny rose plant next to the garage. I've not done anything special to it except to water it whenever it doesn't rain for an extended period but it's grown into a fairly large rose plant producing large red roses from time to time.
I've got my PhotoHunt entry up at http://www.anniemayhem.com/cgi-bin/wordpress/ in case you're interested. If you do visit, please leave a comment and feel free to explore the rest of my little blog.
Ohh, that stings! Bad thorns but you did a good shot of them.
Brr... you made your point, and a beautiful shot it is!
Have a great weekend.
That's a great shot! Happy Photohunt Saturday.
Woah... just came from a blog with an unusual view of rose plants to another one with a very unusual view of... a rose plant! ;D
Gorgeous...lighting and clarity = A+
Ouch! Yes, very pointed :)
It's lovely :-)
I couldn't resist; had to play this meme too!
But, have probably brocken all the rules already, because one photo wasn't enough for me once started - LOL!
Great idea! Sometimes the very obvious is right there!
I must say that you have the most beautiful rose bushes around. I can hardly get mine to be so fat and straight :)

Isn't it ironic how something so beautiful can have such a bite? If there is a thorn anywhere near me, I'm certain to touch it, lol.

ouch! i love roses but not the spiky thorns!
A wonderful shot of the thorns.
Have a great weekend!
What a wonderful idea. Why didn´t I think of that...? I have more than 500 roses in my garden and I know how pointed they are ;)
Me? Love roses....hate thorns!!!
Great for the theme this week.
Mine's shared
Ah, yes, and do watch out for them.
ouch, that is a point.

Great photo, very descriptive! Gave me the chills. I pruned my rose bush this week.... OW
I did Photo Hunt today, too! Come see mine and put your link up. :)

Beautifully done!
I really dislike growing roses - they are nasty, evil plants with those sharp bits. But sometimes the perfume is delightful :)
ouch! that's a great pointy pic!
thanks for visitng mine :-)
Most eXcellent! Our roses have been rather neglected of late, poor dears. ThanX for the pointed reminder (sigh) and for stopping by. I appreciated your sensible comment! Who knows what was up with those others? Nonsensical. No matter, I have the power of delete!
Ouch! Just when I thought I could start posting pictures. I got this great idea... I think I'll just wait until tomorrow and I'll post my photo BEFORE I visit anyone else's blog!
Great idea. Brilliant minds think alike they say!
Very pointed thorns! This week I nearly cycled into such thorns. Ouch. Good thing I managed to avoid them.
I love this photo,..... it's awesome. Great job and have a wonderful weekend.
Great focus in this one! And there are few things pointier than thorns. My dad always hated to weed around rose bushes... as he'd say, they "bite."
;-)

I wish you'd quit taking pictures of perfect, fake bushes and trying to pass them off as ones you grew... ;o) JUST KIDDING!! lol! How come is it that even your throns are perfect?? Nothing I ever grow comes out looking THAT pretty!
ouch - rose thorns hurt -- wonderful shot you've taken. Hope your weekend has gone well.
Ouch! But perfect for pointed!!
Those are very pointed thorns! Our 'thornless' rose bush has a few thorns too.
Lovely light, looks very sharp, just right for pointed.
Nice shot and a great take on the pointed theme!
Super photo of the thorns and stem. I love the shadowing!
You and I are in the great minds think alike category this week for the hunt. I am, as seems to be the case the last few weeks, late this week with my post. Yours is lovely by the way. Really great shot.
I love macro photography. Beautiful photo.
