Amazing clarity! Are these in your yard?

[Kathy]

@wakelys Thanks Sue. It was a surprise to see it in a place where I could stop and take photos.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. It was a bit hard to see what I was taking because the sun was so bright so I had to rely on the camera to focus on what I wanted. Threw out a number of photos that didn't turn out so well.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks so much Jackie.
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry.
@will_wooderson A delightfully punny comment Will. Thanks.
@lynnz Thank you Lynn.
@shutterbug49 Appreciate your comments Debbie. Thank you.
@thewatersphotos Thank you Gary. No. Along side the railroad tracks in town across from an old furniture plant that's in ruins.

@randystreat Aha! I wondered if you had planted Thistle. :- )

[Call me Joe]

So unusual looking plants,never seen them before—love the textures ❤️👌

[Kathy A]

Nice shot, great textures

[Casablanca]

I always enjoy thistles. The goblet-like shape with all its spikes fascinates me

[Wylie]

Always pretty but such a pest!

[katy]

@randystreat Relying on the camera seems to have worked very well in this case

[Renee Salamon]

Great colour and texture

[haskar]

Lovely colours and details.

[Pyrrhula]

[bkb in the city]

Very nice shot

[Kathy]

@thewatersphotos No, no, no. My husband used to call these "D***ed old thistles." I wanted him to stop and so I could photograph some on the side of the rode once and nearly wouldn't.
@joemuli Thank you Joey. Yes the textures and colors are pretty. They have wicked sharp leaves and spread like crazy.
@kjarn I appreciate your comments Kathy.
@casablanca I find them interesting to look at as well, but then I've never had to clear them from a piece of property. Thank you.
@pusspup Indeed they are Wylie. Thank you.
@rensala Thanks Renee.
@craftymeg Thank you Meg.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
@pyrrhula Thanks Ferry.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian.
