Thistle

I thought I had completely missed the opportunity to shoot any thistle this year.  And even when I saw this today, I thought this is not going to be good.  It was down a bank at the edge of a ditch.  Probably 10-12 ft from where I sat.  And no place to pull out of the road.

So, I sat in the car, and rolled down Roger's window and tried a few shots

.

I was quite happy with these results.  Though there was a bunch lower down  that did not get any results worth showing.  Of course they were the ones with butterflies on them.

About the time I was stopping, this bumble bee flew into the frame.

Itty-bitty spider....

Ran across this last night...thought it deserved to be shown again.

From Northern Indiana

Just a few shots from near Shipshewana, Indiana....

I love driving through Amish country.

I know they weren't actually leaning, but every time I look at photos I have of these two, I have the feeling the dark brown one is leaning against the building, and that the smaller horse is leaning against the bigger horse.

These were all taken in October of 2015.
