The two old thistles reminded me of an old couple, two old friends or perhaps both enjoying their latter days in the sunshine. The breeze was blowing through their hair as they seemed to visit about the great season they had together. They commented on the good view of the lake they had, and how all types of fowl, animals and other critters had stopped by to visit them. They even mentioned a bee or two that had their way with them. I was pleased to hear they had taken the time to enjoy all the beauty that was around them. As I left I heard one of them say: "I will see you next year in a new pod." Now isn't that a lovely thought.

Your story is charming and it's nice to believe it might be this way - the image is also well done.

Tick, there's a word for someone with you're artistic insight and that word is "bonkers!" This is a wonderful image with so much to look at.

Man, Tick I knew that plants and flowers talk (trees of course as in Alice in Wonderland) but I have no idea how you learned that language. They do look like a happy couple and you got them (and heard them) very nicely.

A good closeup and narrative Tick. Nice focus and details in the photo.
