This close-up vertical photograph captures a dense, architectural mass of Mediterranean spurge (Euphorbia characias), likely the subspecies wulfenii, filling the entire frame with a captivating display of texture and form. The image is dominated by numerous, robust, and upright stems, each meticulously clothed in a spiraling arrangement of narrow, oblong, blue-green/grey-green leaves.
The foliage creates a highly textural, almost sculptural, effect, with each plant forming a distinct, rounded, and brush-like head. The leaves are tightly clustered, lending a feeling of density and abundance. The overall colour palette is a rich, cool spectrum of green, ranging from deep, shadowy forest greens in the lower and background areas to vibrant, almost chartreuse, lime greens on the newer growth and developing inflorescences at the tips of the stems.
Lighting in the photograph is soft and diffused, highlighting the intricate details of the leaves and the overlapping structure of the plants without harsh shadows. This even illumination emphasises the matt, slightly waxy texture of the evergreen leaves. The depth of field is shallow, allowing the central cluster of plants to remain in sharp focus while the surrounding plants gently blur into the background, creating a lush, immersive visual experience. The dense planting offers an impenetrable look, showcasing the plant's architectural quality prized in garden design. The scene is natural yet orderly due to the repetitive, starburst-like pattern of the foliage whorls. This plant is known for its ability to thrive in dry, sunny conditions and produces a milky, irritant sap when broken, a characteristic of the wider Euphorbia genus. The image is a study in natural geometry and shades of green.

For #NightmareNov and #legs theme, I present this golden silk orb weaver. It was face high on the trail. Unfortunately I didn't see it and had a very close encounter. It moved from my face to what was left of its web very quickly. What a beauty! #photography #wildlife #EastCoastKin #spiders
