lovely, Carol! agreeing with the other comments. Have only just found this one.

Beautiful color. lighting and texture, with that incredible depth of field. I would definately use this for a Christmas card!!

This is a lovely shot,the barbs on those are very sharp, I brought some back from the South Island several years ago, I managed to get seeds to grow from them and have trees out the back, it will be a few years befor they have cones though.
