The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is itchy. Okay s this nettle is initially sting-y, it soon itches like hell
Oh the dreaded nettle. Your photo makes me want to go and grab my gaiters! When I saw this week's theme I immediately thought of all the itchy hikes I've had, but I didn't have a single picture of the prickly plants!

Great take on the theme. Happy weekend!
Cool photo. I don't have any personal experience with a nettle but it does look itchy. Happy weekend!
Great shot for the theme. Happy weekend.
Lovely shot! And yes, perfect for the itchy theme :)
Liz, Annie, Carver, Sue Glad you like it!
I expected an itchy cat! But this is a much better photo. I hate nettles, they were the bane of my childhood.
it looks like big time itch can be had if you touch this. great take on the theme. fab capture too.
Wow great photo :-)
I haven't found anything suitable for this week so I have bowed out.
Ewok, Cherie, jmb thanks!

Is that a ladybird on the nettle? I wonder if it's itch resistant?
I agree...I hate nettles in the garden...perfect choice for this hard theme.
Ouch! Nettles are definitely itchy winners.
I love the ladybird
itchy and cute.:p i love your photo.
So I guess it wouldn't be worth it to leap at that plant to capture the yummy ladybug.
Thanks everyone!
Sparkle you would be sorry!
Lovely photo!
Cute ladybird, nice contrast with the itchy plant!

Nice shot. I remember being stung by nettles as a child. Horrible!
I've never been stung by nettle, so I cannot imagine how itchy it will be. :P
Great photo!
