Goat's Beard, The
Taken on 26 October 2015 and uploaded 30 November 2024.
This is one of a number of several 'frames' taken at the time: I don't remember why I took them or what this is, so I suppose I was in pretentious mode thinking I could produce something with profound artistic merit.
I used to see a lot of this when wandering around the banks of the River Thames: like giant dandelions, possibly salsify...
I approached this scientifically. I looked at Stuff in Google and sought what, to my mind, was romantic, obscure and, yes, pretentious: according to Google the seed head of salsify (and remember, I have no idea if this is salsify or something even more strange and significant) has been known as a Goat's Beard. That sounds good to me, scientifically.
