Lovely photographs - thistles are so decorative. Pity they are also such pests, but I often let them survive where they shouldn't be because they are so lovely.
We were thinking along the same lines for macro Monday. Like that you've given us thistle in different stages of growth and your bokeh is something I hope to be able to shoot some day.

ReplyDeleteOh I love these macro shots :) I love their colours.
ReplyDeletethese are each and every one GORGEOUS!! and i love love love the header shot with the pretty purple letters.
ReplyDeleteI espceially like the last shot.
ReplyDeleteLike Jenny I'm often guilty of letting these 'noxious weeds' (that's how the English law defines them) grow becauase they are so beautiful.
I think they are lovely but definitely not in my garden. I can see three feet high examples just outside my fence.
ReplyDeleteThey may be considered a nuisance but they make for pretty pictures - and birds like them!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful thistles!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty close ups. Not a common flower here in my country but i intend to grow it this year from seed.
