Progress on the thistle balls...

Managed to get a few shots before the freeze got these too. I had no idea how much water is stored in a thistle!

I like the details in this.

[Corinne C]

Their colors are so pretty but I won't like falling into them :-)

Let’s get the details taken care of first. Yes … I read those things! I read and now I am writing to let you know that I do and I did. You made me giggle with your new profile info and I’ve been around since 2011 but was AWOL for a few years…. Keep shooting and I will keep watching.

Not a comfy spot to sit but great colour tones.
