Hidden Treasure in Plain Sight

The creek that ran under the railroad bridge was really pretty. This spot here was only 20 feet or so from the road but it was completely hidden to the world. Bare in mind that this photo would be better had we walked out onto the middle of the bridge and shot it from above but we won't go into that now will we!





As we were walking along the edge of the creek we ran into ( and I mean that literally) this little gem of a creation! Some sort of bush or tree like thing with huge thorn's as sharp as could be growing from it. I'm not really sure the purpose of such a thing, unless these little round things growing on it are just so important that they need protection.
