    Lovely macros! My daughter likes to play with these. She makes jewelery from them and then put them on her clothes. Or MY clothes. :)

    Ahh such beautiful thistles Gunilla... I must go back and search through my summer photos to share some too, they will be a good touch of color when winter's white blanket arrives. Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)

    Nice macros, but that looks too much like one of the invasive weeds we have to keep controlled where I live.

    Lovely shots of the progression of the thistle flowers. The ones in my yard have a wonderful fragrance. I try to keep them from going to seed.

    I adore thistles! Too many people down here treat them as weeds. I guess they are; but, I love me wildflowers!
