Globe Thistle by filsie65

Globe Thistle

My neighbour has a huge bush of these... the bulbs I planted didn't take at all, but her display this year has been wonderful for everyone to enjoy so I don't miss mine. This is for my 'round' shape on the Same-September challenge.

Thank you for your heartwarming and encouraging comments on the shot of my friends' cottage - I will pass them on! I did the sepia in Picmonkey this week, Picasa last week and think that is why it came out in different tones.

Have a marvellously wonderful weekend everyone
