Driving on down the road out of the corner of my eye I caught this one. I just stopped, backed up, turned the car off and rolled down my window. It was a totally lucky shot as the background is an old rundown two story house that has all these shade trees. Who would have thought that dark background was natural.
I did not notice the critter on the right side till I downloaded the pics.

I often admire these thistle blooms. You got an awesome picture.
I think they are pretty as well. But your shots go even beyond pretty! They are glorious art.
I agree that your photos are gorgeous art!
Great captures!
Wow Rose! These look so beautiful! The second one looks very captivating and would huge hang a print of that on any part of the house and it sure will bring energy and life!
Beautiful pictures. I LOVE these!
This is really beautiful Rose, I like thistles too :)

Not a true thistle - more likely a knapweed (centaurea) variety - but very very pretty!!! YAM xx
WOW. That second picture is amazing. Photographic perfection. I've always liked thistle blooms
Love the thistle, so pretty. Great photos. Have a great day!
Pretty thistle bloom. I don't know whether we have this thistle here.
Stunning. I am glad you went back for this beautiful photo op.
And to think this beauty grows from a weed! Beautiful clarity captured in these shots!
Those photos are awesome! And it's hard to believe the background on the last one but I have had a similar thing happened sometimes it blows out white and sometimes it blows out black and this one is awesome. I love it!
Both are lovely. But the bottom one is magical!
wow !! You are so fortunate Rose !! These are fabulous shots...especially the last one ( critter or no critter ).

Rose, that last picture is a prize winning shot. It is so gorgeous .
That last photo is so awesome. It looks like something not quite real - nature is amazing isn't it :)
Both are fine shots, but the second one is amazing.
I think the blooms are beautiful too and your capture is outstanding!!
they are both nice shots. I agree the blooms are nice but regret they lead to more thistles. I remember my grandfather's pastures, grazed low, with nasty thistles sticking up. I was tasked with taking some of them down. Incidentally, the bloom against the black almost looks like it has had a haircut.
Sweet shots. Especially the second.
These are gorgeous images. I love the second one. It is gorgeous. The flower just seems to glow. Beautiful color and fabulous detail!
Muy buen acercamiento.
CuÃdate.
Un abrazo.
outstanding captures!!!! Love the sparkles on the second one!!
Wow, that is an exceptional photo. Lovely thistle bloom.
