I don't actually know the name of this thorny wild plant, but I was struck by the colour of it's flowering seed pods. The wind was gently swaying it when I took this shot, & as you can see several pods are just waiting to get airborne.
If anyone can identify it for me I'll be grateful as it'll save me a lot of time looking it up. :o)
As for a music link this evening I fancy something classy how about a bit of Sheryl Crow ? :o)

If you need me just thistle. Love the title and all I have to say is this. Oh, the ravages of time. Their voices are still great.

Ask your Congressmen and Senators why our existing wells aren't pumping more than 3 days a month? There a lot of unused capacity in existing wells.
Very vivid, Phil. I have no idea what it might be.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
Such an appropriate choice of music Sandi.
The pretty flower of a thistle with its prickly thorns , & the pretty flower of a Lemon tree that contains a bitter fruit.
Oh dear it's a Saturday night, & I maybe a little pickled but hey does it matter !! I can still spell fine put in a music link any time you like Sandi. :o)

OKAY, FLOSSIE...HERE IS YOUR AWARD FOR THE MOST TIME I'VE SPENT READING AND LISTENING TO MUSIC ON AN UPLOAD ON THIS SITE!! and thanks for being such a good entertainer that you got everyone (well almost) to sing along.
Too bad all that's left is to clean up. That's what I get for coming so late to the party!

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"
Very good capture Phil...gerry
