From last Saturday... They tie young trees in sisal, so they can't uproot themselves and run away...

Great texture, J. The very top left corner is a bit unfocused, but I don't see a good crop - so leave it how it is. Once again - love the texture.

Yup.. wonderful ropey texture and nice little composition with the three ropes going off in different directions.
I also really like the DOF. The foreground rope going out of focus is nice, but its the blossoms and foliage in the background that really make the image. Just enough there to keep things interesting but they don't detract from the rope.

Lovely! I agree with T about the top left. The textures are awesome - wonder what they look like up close?
