Thistles

[Jane Anderson]

We get these here too, and they are so fun. They remind me of Dr. Seuss illustrations.

Super shot Kathy. Great dof and details in the thistle. :)

Love to see these bursts of purple rising above all the green this time of year. Amazing that something so pretty can come from such an unfriendly stem.

@cejaanderson @bizziebeeme @confectioner @sparrowphotography @digitalrn @novab @lyndemc @ziggy77 @peterlgrave @barbtatum @tosee @homeschoolmom @susanalena @pyrrhula First of all I want all of you to know that mass reply does not mean that I don't read each and every comment. Thank you so much for the feedback and Favs. I think thistles are beautiful but they have wicked thorns or spikes or whatever. So I only look at them along the side of the road. Luckily we don't have them in our yard, or we'd have to get a goat (but not allowed in the city limits where we live).

@randystreat How about horses Kathy? they love thistles.

[Margaret Brown]

[Kathy]

@peterlgrave Haha! Naw, no horses in the city limits either. @craftymeg Thank you.
