While walking through the Sage Brush early this year I found this perfect little Star Thistle blossom. Out west it is considered a noxious weed, I think it's still a pretty flower.

Very interesting how you blurred the stem of this beauty! I think it is only fitting that this flower be 'suspended' as stars are in the sky! Lovely..thanks :))

Your talent shines in making a star of a lowly weed. Well done, Michael.

Just my kind of shot. :) It's perfect in my book too in other words. (Especially the composition and the nice hues makes it a keeper for me.)

Weeds do get a bad rap don't they? ;( This is terrific. All reasons why stated before me. ;)

What a fantastic piece of work Michael. The flower, even if it is a weed, is beautiful and you've made it stand out so very well. Thanks for sharing it with us.
