Best Shot Monday



I took this shot when we were at Sissinghurst with my friend Tracy and her husband a couple of Saturday's ago. I love the message it speaks to me . . . it reminds me of the crown of thorns worn by my Saviour, and His great sacrifice . . . and the little seed feathers that you see escaping remind me of the new life I have been able to find in Him and only Him . . .

Hop on over to Best Shot Monday to see some of the other lovely entrants this week!

PS - I know I am a day late with this, but I got distracted yesterday by a bunch of lovely friends and a barbeque. *grin*
