Shots of thistle, caught this week, while walking the dogs. The last one is looking straight down at the top of the thistle; it's not the best image, but I really liked it, so I included it.
Macro Monday is the brain-child of one of my fave photographers, Lisa. Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or close-up) photo, post it on your blog, and let Lisa know you're playing.
great macro shot! I've never seen flower like that before, I love the shape.
ReplyDeleteAbit prickly, but soo pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love thistles anyway, but these are beautiful. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWow, what wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteThe green is vibrant.
Super shots. Thistle. I just love the purple color when they bloom.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I'm guessing you must live in Arizona or New Mexico to have these to photograph a week ago :-) Nice shots...
ReplyDeleteLove Thistle! Well not to touch, but to look at. :) Pretty!
ReplyDeleteThistles are so interesting and I like the shot from the top, too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots!!
ReplyDeleteLove the thistle shots! I love that last one. We have artichoke plants (related) and I never tire of photographing them in all their variations through the seasons. Today, with snow on them!
ReplyDeleteLovely thistles, nature is always beautiful !
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day !
Lucky you to have some blossoms coming soon! Nice closeups. Jan.

ReplyDeleteI see only one picture? But it's a very good one!! I love how thistles look in a picture, but not how they feel!
