I recently came across this group of thistles illuminated by the late evening sun. I was quite intrigued by the colours – they were pretty much as shown here – I only adjusted contrast etc,

This shot seems like something out of the land of Snow Queen – the only disappointment is that the main thistle isn’t razor sharp.

One of my favorite things to photograph when I am out there hiking. Love these, Michael.

That is a neat plant! I also like all the sharp edges! I could look at this one for quite a while.

  Saw it at Crescent Beach – right in front of the corner house by the dock. Amazing colours!
