While I was recently walking around the lake with Jo, I decided to also hike a bit into the adjacent state park afterwards. The weather was so nice - sunny, but more on the cooler side. The light was beautiful, and I enjoyed this extra hour outside, photographing trees and thistles.

I love the dried thistles. Their shapes are so unique, the little "arms" that seem to wrap around the seed head look so intriguing. They really make this wildflower stand out in the fall.
Even their shadow is special! They look fabulous alone as well as in a crowd! We certainly don't have a shortage here!

Stunning!!!
Marvelous photos and amazing texture work. I like it !

Huge thistle fan here and I have to say those are some gorgeous captures! I especially love the one of the solitary thistle with its "arms" curled up over its head! Stunning light, composition and processing!
I too love these plants we call them Teasels in the UK they are so photographic.
I haven't seen any of these since we lived out west. They do have a beauty all their own.
Oh, my goodness -- these are gorgeous! I love the tones and composition. Your processing is perfect. There is beauty in the simplest things.
Lovely autumn pieces! I love the one of the shadows!
I love thistles, too! I love the muted tones here - wonderful texture work!
Great captures. I love the contrast of the spikey thistles and the soft background. Lovely processing and textures too.
They are, like leafless trees, incredibly elegant. And I love their simplicity. Thank you.
great! That last shot is really nice. I like thistle also.
Wow, Carola! These are just stunning! Teasels are one of my favourite plants
I love all the different plays on the thistles from the shadows to the close ups. Beaautiful
Love your shots of these thistles! They are pretty amazing
Die Textur auf den Disteln ist wunderschön ,so kommt sie Form toll heraus . Ich habe auch noch welche im garten stehen die darauf warten fotografiert zu werden.
Herzlichen Gruss Patricia

I have very similar thistle pictures. I saw them at a cross country meet and stopped in my tracks to photograph them.
