Subject: [Leica] IMG: Saw Briar

In my youth, 75 years ago, we called these farm land nuisances "saw briars", 
because they would shred a bare leg in very short order.  Now, they continue 
to pester me with their presence, outgrowing anything else in wet or dry 
weather.  The new growth has few briar barbs, but the older strands will 
pierce work gloves quickly.

I swear this outgrowth was not obvious yesterday.  Today, it has topped the 
Nandinas and is trying to bind the world together.  Maybe I should just let 
it grow.................
