I think I'd wear gloves. :) Very nice detailed entry for the challenge.
Ken Duckert26-Jun-2008 12:26
I like this photo very much. It's soft despite the thorns. The color is inviting - suiting for a garden shot and there's fruit. Perfect!

Nice, I love gooseberries, pigeons too.
We have both, so far the gooseberries survived.
