I've never seen this before. Does anyone know what the name of this tree is? I think it's a pine.

Also for the Daily Theme "Abstract"
and
the Weekly Informal Challenge "Natural Abstraction"

You need to keep your distance from this one Brenda, those spikes look rather dangerous!

Awesome! I think this tree is Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos). Found it on this site showing world's hardest trees to climb :)

They can jab you pretty good if you get too close. Excellent detail and texture.
