Wonderful colors on this floor ..! Full of finesse! Good start to the week!
Photographed with such sensitivity, beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
A thistle never looked so appealing! Great shot 🙂
It’s funny how even a thistle can look beautiful in a photo!
All plants deserve to be photographed. Bet that one will develop an awful lot of seeds from those buds.
Great shot, Pat. I love their ‘armour’!!
Wonderful shot!
Gorgeous shot! Thistles are beautiful with lots of interesting details.
Beautiful shot, Pat!;)

You have “painted” a beautiful picture.

Glad you saved it, Pat.
So nice.
Thistle plants always make nice studies, rarely are they shot in tight bud though so this makes it unique.
A pretty shot!
Fantastic shot!
Looks beautiful !

What a lovely shot! You captured it well 😉
Great shot, well composed!
Beautiful! And skillful to make it so… 🙂
Spare the thistle until it blooms, at least the Canadian thistles here have a wonderful fragrance. And they are pretty purple blooms. Nice shot of the buds.
Cool shot, but yes, big OUCH!
