Thistlemania!



I love thistles! I know there are many people that feel differently(mainly farmers, I believe) but for photography there is not a more interesting plant. At different stages and in different locations there is a uniqueness in thistle blooms that is not found in many adored wild flowers. If you can get past the obnoxious weed label, this creation of nature is a real beauty. sf

Hmm. . that is interesting that we have bearded and you don't. . The poofs are really fun but even without that there is a lot of photo fun to be found in a thistle patch!
