I think it's called Bind Weed. It really is pretty and so are the thistle blossoms that have turned into powder puffs. The little bug is cute too. Good color.
Beautiful selection of wild flowers with stunning detail and colours plus insects thrown in too.Love the way you captured the softness of the unopened seed heads too.
Awesome capture Rob, so much going on here! The flower is lovely, but I really love the fuzzy things and the insect (as long as it's not crawling on me).
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
I wouldn't be surprised if you were struck by the thistles as you were walking through the area. A good capture and presentation, Rob. Very nice details and lighting in the photo. Good work!
