photo hunt (itchy)

I often wonder how http://tnchick.com/ every come up with each weeks hunt. This week theme is itchy First thing came to my mind was itchy wool sweater.


But putting a little more thought into. I came up with a spruce tree. They're sure itchy and scratchy. Once again, picture was taken as I was walking Rex at ball park - doggie park. “No I don't live there” it sure seems like a lot of my picture for the hunt been taken at park.

I had to look on the internet on how many types of Spruce they're. Well I found out there 7 different types of spruce and I thought there would be more. As my hubby works with tree and he thought there would be 400 of them.

I told him the number what I found out in my research. He could see why so few because they live in colder environment.



I know some birds and different animals like to build nest in there to raise there young's. It thick and dark and hard for others to get to them. Plus it sticky and itchy also.



I don't recall doing this or not. I know people who uses spruce for there Christmas tree mostly if their children tend to be on wild side or un tame little varmints.

A few pokes with the needles they have second thoughts of touching the tree. But one would have to wear gloves to trim the tree.
