This is a picture of a honey locust tree. The tree is profusely covered with thorns. They are real, they are sharp, and they do hurt!
I present this picture in black and white, which is almost a true representation of the tree and its accompanying thorns as both are a dark grey to black. I feel like the timing on this picture is ideal with respect to the angle of the sun as the shadows of the thorns add highlight to this most interesting tree.
We captured this image in September 2022 at the Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois. Another picture in our shop from that day is Untitled #58.
