    I love the last one of the purple flower! We used to get those all over in Massachusetts, but I can’t remember the name of them… :)

    I like the way the light hits the second one and forms a pattern.

    A thistle! They are lovely flowers, aren’t they. Just a shame about the rest of the plant, all leggy and prickly as it is!

    Nice flower photos. Prickly is not bad for the flower, only bad for those who would eat it or run into it!

    Lovely photos of the thistle, one of my favorite roadside plants. The pattern of the second one is most intriguing and my favorite.
