This is such a beautiful picture! On the surface it looks so simple, and yet your shot shows how complex a thistle it is.

Gayle, it's amazing to me how something can be so beautiful yet, poke the heck out of you too! I have had many experiences with digging up thistles in our horse pastures growing up :) One just has to admire and love all of natures beauty!

Though many have different opinions of the Thistle, I find it to be one of the most fascinating plants to photograph. You captured it like a professional photographer at just the right time!

By the way, you have some excellent listings there to be very proud of for sure!!!
