A Quiet Little Sunset

Our beach is covered with these thistles so rather than fight them, I thought I'd feature one. I liked that the sun was so round just behind it.
Taken a few days ago -- not feeling up to photo walks so mostly stayed near home today and did processing. Our friends did find a snake for me -- photo op -- just next to our deck. Fortunately, on Beaver Island there are no poisonous snakes.
