Ah...I love thistles, but this is one like I've never seen. Be prepared, Ms. Jen. I'm going to be picking your photographic brain before the week is out!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Beautiful colour, closeup work and clarity. I had this on the VB this morning and gave it a 10. Great job, Jen

Gorgeous colours and fine camera work Jen. This is a thistle any Scot would be proud of!

I've never seen a thistle like this, but whatever it actually is it is very pretty.
Great shot.

Nifty, Jen. Especially great against the muted background. Reminds me they are much more than pesky weeds.

To me this is 'art' Jen. On the one hand that common but on the other hand that special. Thanks for making this clear with you image.
Regards, Cornelius.

Great macro. Hope you can find this one when the seed pod begins to open. It would surely make a canary's heart sing.

And it looks even better in such a great shot! :D
