Thistle do for this day..

Not a good weather day so had to go with what I caught on my way home walking from the shops! The thistle was at least 4 feet high.

Three good things:
1. We got given some plums and some cherries so it’s eat one …or two….as you go past.
2. Did some chips in the deep fryer - the best option for the correct temperature.
3. John went to a barber for a hair cut - the first time for years - I always did it. But I’ve retired.

I gave up cutting my husband’s hair too. Honestly it was getting a bit thin and I found that harder to cut. 4’ tall thistles, oh my!

@louannwarren The barber did a much better job than I could, Lou Ann! It looks so neat now.

Super shot and title.

[Shepherdman]

Lovely shot! Nice detail.

[PhylM-S]

The weather seems to have provided nice lighting. Great shot!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh , what witty title !! and a lovely close-up of this thistle Maggie -- you make me smile , so you are retired from cutting John's hair !

[Maggiemae]

@beryl It took a lot of courage to say that, Beryl. But my hand shakes a lot more nowadays and I might do him an injury with my sharp scissors!

Fun title! Looks like the thistle is approaching artichoke status!

[Maggiemae]

@cathieg You are right - except its not an artichoke! Pity!

[Pat Knowles]

Ooh you must show us the new haircut! All set for your travels then! Thistles are not good news but this is a very handsome sample! Proper chips, you can't beat them!

[Dinah Pinkston]

The thistle is lovely; I imagine that the birds will love it. It must be quite impressive at 4 foot tall!

[Bep]

A lovely close up, Maggie.
Love your #3. Was it his idea or yours to go to a barber ;-) ?

[summerfield]

that looks ouchy if you touch it without care.

#3 made me chuckle.

[Helen Sanderson]

unusual looking thistle..nice shot

[Jessika Panteleios]

Beautiful details and tones.

[haskar]

I like it.

[Maggiemae]

@happypat done in an oven - they are too crisp and hard, done in a frypan - too soggy and fatty. More tonight!

[Maggiemae]

@gijsje My idea - at first he remonstrated - I'm not going to a Barber"!

[Teresa Amaro]

Nicely captured!

[KWind]

Great thistle! I like our focus and dof.

[Babs]

Ha ha, great title.

[gloria jones]

Super capture of textures...great focus

[Margaret Brown]

Haha, nice detail and colours

[Ann Williams]

That's a pretty but vicious looking thistle. It looks huge too.

[Peter Dulis]

Love it ...

[Kerri]

Awesome shot
