Thistle

A bit dark, drizzly and humid this morning. But the wild flowers are still beautiful all weathers

Deep, dark purple.

Yes they are. I love how you captured all the detail!

[Rick]

Don't think I've ever run into them before, but dont think I really want to after seeing these. Great shot, though.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Nice one - I like spiky, especially in people. Fav.

[ShirleyB]

[Kat]

I adore this, these colours of purple and green are captivating!

[Peter Day]

You have nailed this one

[Bep]

Well spotted.

[Joan Morvinson]

The spikes look great - lovely shot

[Julienne Jones]

@rickster549 - they are a bit prickly! They are one of those weeds that most people want to dig up because they spread so quickly if left to seed. But some birds love them!

@sgtpepper - yes I like spiky too .... makes life more interesting :)

@novab @thewatersphotos @texastrails @shirleybankfarm @katrinastabback @peterday @gijsje @jomo - thanks for all the comments and favs. They may be a pest but I do enjoy them.

Lovely light on the purple.
