(Teasel, White (Dipsacus Sylvestris) - 04a) This is a close up view of a couple of the spines on the teasel head.  Yes, they are as sharp as they look!  Note that the spines also have little prickles.  The use of the teasel spiny heads for "teasing" woolen cloth led to its common name, teasel.

lamb-right lamb-left Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.  Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion.  It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
