Description
A weed, a spike, old nature's thornagainst the mountain brush,
choked between the wilted vines
ten thousand acres blush.
Resilient glory, bound in fight,
it reaches from its spine.
And breathes the sunlight rays anew,
a chance at life divine.

It is. Maybe one day I can get close to mastering it. In the meanwhile, I'll continue having a ball experimenting with this new lens. Hope you had a jolly weekend, Sean.

That's beautiful, both the poetry and the picture. The sepia look does justice to this.
