Every Rose Has Its Thorns:
But this is no rose. I’m not sure what it is about the Middle East, but I’m pretty sure I never saw a plant that wasn’t all ready to destroy your feet.
This particular plant I found on the site of the Sermon on the Mount. It was a beautiful morning, and there were all these plants flowing in the breeze. Being a photographer, I was slightly behind the group. I decided to take a shortcut through these gentle plants at a full sprint to catch up. Fortunately I was wearing some tough Carhartts, but it still was a reasonably bad/painful experience. Look before you leap, I guess.
