A few nice nature images I found:
Snagged

HDR Single RAW | Exposure
From my evening walk: I found this was snagged on a branch of Queen Anne's lace. Can someone tell me the name (plant) of this nature-beauty ? My friend Larry told me it's an anchene (seed) of unknown plant and I'd love to know more. Perhaps, is it just a snagged & broken cobweb ? [ Curious by nature mode = ON :D ]
