This is one of favorite photos. It’s simply a common field thistle growing by a roadside.
When I converted it to black and white the texture just popped for me. It always amazes me how often we take the common beauty that surrounds us for granted. Spring is is full swing here and I’ll be looking forward to some short walks. I hope I can find more nice places to share with you in the coming months.

Talk about a prick! 🙂 Like an ol’ prickly pear.
This would make a great pen and ink drawing, Lloyd.
I can’t draw, but I like it. Kudos, UT

Black white really does the thistle justice. It actually looks more friendly this way ..;)

I think this is my first time properly seeing a thistle. It reminds me of those toys that had hair sticking straight up. ☺️

It does kinda look like a troll doll from the 80s 😄
