Fluff.

Thistles up against our fence.

Not happy to see these even though they are quite pretty up close, nasty things blowing their seed heads all over our field!

[Judith Johnson]

A brilliant capture - despite the nasty seeds!

[Jane Pittenger]

love your framing and I totally agree re how pesty they are despite their beauty

[Peggy Sirk]

LOVE this composition, Pat! Such wonderful textures and great details! Too bad they are such a nuisance. :(

@busylady @jgpittenger @peggysirk We always were very vigilant trying to keep the thistle problem down when we farmed these fields but the new owner is a little lax & the farm is now arable so no stock to pasture the fields either. I think Harry might just hop over the fence & remove as many as possible!

[Fanny Brogden]

Oh so true, wretched thistles.but what a brilliant shot, great detail

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful shot, nice composition.

They are a nuisance ... but so lovely! Beautiful dof and "fluff!" Lovely lighting too.

[Judith Greenwood]

Nobody's allowed to blow dandelion clocks in our garden but that's just so I don't have to weed then rather than animal health!

[Lesley Allen]

I am sure every one of those seeds germinate, they seem to spring up everywhere!!!

[rachel red]

Lovely bit o' fluff there though!

[Gillian]

Great capture.

[Barbara Paquette]

Can't fence them out. Hope there are no Scots reading this!

[Sue Wilde]

Gorgeous shot though. A weed is only a plant out of place

[Mark]

Nice shot! We have to constantly irradiate the Russian thistle in Colorado. It is horrible.

[Paula]

Great capture!

[Jean Tookey]

They do make a lovely picture but I agree they are a bit of a pain.

[Phil Howcroft]

great shot Pat, i feel there is an arty monochrome shot here too

[Vicki Dixon]

FAV! nasty or not...agreed, they are pretty up close

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

lovely Pat, perfect colours and pretty composition.

[Anya]

Love the different textures in this shot.
