A dot & a commer. Alternative title...Sputnik!

A flower shot I know but I liked it!

[Judith Greenwood]

It is very pretty!! I'm rather fond of thistles and they are about the only weed we don't have in the garden so that helps.

[Phil Howcroft]

nice shot and composition Pat....and as for the title...i don't get the sputnik bit ....what am i missing ?

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft I thought it looked rather like those Sputnik space things....before your time probably Phil!!!!!!

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat ahhh i do remeber sputnik , because one of my friends in Bolton used to have it as a nickname ...he was born the same time it was launched !

[Rick Schies]

It looks great Pat

[Barbara Paquette]

Great title!!! Too funny! Love the shot, we have thistles all over the place - nasty to pull out without leather gloves. We blame the goldfinches. But can't stay mad at them because they are so adorable.

very cool - I love a thistle - there's a field of them locally, I should get down there whilst they're at their best - love the one on the left

You really ought to do flowers more often ... this is a wonderful shot. Humorous title!
