Went for my regular road loop walk today and set out to find some interesting details. See if these fill the bill.
First up is teasel. It's an intriguing plant in any season, and up close does not disappoint.

The prickly stems are quite unique as well.

Queen Anne's Lace is another common plant that retains a lot of interest year round.

I thought that was it, but the day provided another brilliant sunset, and I'm sure not going to turn down one of those.

In other news: I wrote Chapter 4 in The ABZ Affair, and hope to finish Chapter 5 before bed. I finished beta reading a book for a friend, and did a little (very little) cleaning.
