Thistles

 A friend with a vacant lot let's us park our utility trailer there....and he can use it when he needs it to.
We had to go down there today, and put a sticker on the license plate. These tall thistles caught my eye.
 They actually weren't as tall as they appear.....I did kneel down. I feel sure they were at their peak a few weeks ago.
 but, they looked like art to me :)

  1. Hello:
    Thistles do indeed have a sculptural quality to them, particularly when in flower, and are, of course, beneficial to a great many insects. But, sadly, they are not a plant for the ornamental garden!
