Going through the photo files looking for spiky, pointy or otherwise sharp and jagged objects for Becky’s Spiky Squares photo challenge, I came across a few from the Chicago Botanic Garden.

oh another beautiful spiky gallery 🙂
Thanks, Becky! When I first saw the topic ‘spiky’ I wasn’t hopeful that I’d find enough images but, after you suggested expanding the subject to include variations on the theme, all kinds of things presented themselves. Thanks for a great challenge!
oh I am so glad you have been able to find things . . .I know spiky on its own is a little bit too challenging, but I have been amazed by what everyone has found
The Botanic garden appears to offer great photo ops, Sue!!
It certainly does, Indira! There are more than 20 years worth of CBG images in the photo files and with at least 3 or 4 visits per year, it adds up. One of the best memberships that I ever invested in.
You made your point well!
Thanks, Sandy!
More fantastic photos with such clever interpretation for challenge…sticking to the point as ever!
Thanks, Marianne! It certainly helped once I realized that I could broaden the scope of the theme. Hopefully I still have one or two left to see out the month.
The pyramid is very fine.
They have used this set-up, with different plants, a couple of times over the past few years and it always looks very effective.
