Four days left in The Alphabet Challenge “O” Stories round and it’s looking to be a low participation round. It happens, and we hope for better in the future, and I’m almost past even asking . . .
. . . but, just in case, if you’ve not already done so — please read the stories and then cast a vote for your favorite of the three. Links to the stories and the poll for voting for “Alphabet Challenge O-Stories” are HERE.<<link
This will be a quick post because I’m busy . . . so, here are a few photos of thistle flowers . . .
I should try to grow some . . . I hear they are low maintenance and I know bees and other insects like them.
I think I’ll just post the rest in a gallery and call it quits . . .
The SmugMug Gallery of these reminders photos is HERE<<<Link. The details are even better there than here.
For them who have already read and voted, a different kind of treat . . .
. . . HERE<<link is a link to a post from 2015. Some rocks, flowers, insects, and a ssnake . . . what more could one want?
That’s it. This post has ended . . . except for the stuff below.

Beautiful, beautiful flower and its glorious color! Much appreciated inspiration from Nature and its photographer.

Ooh! Thistle be the best post ever!!! (HA!)
Some places in CA the thistles grow abundantly wild and are so beautiful! I always enjoyed seeing them! Not sure if there are any tame thistles there.
Love your close up portraits of the thistles.
Now I have the word whistles in my head.
Now I thought of a joke…
Looking at some thistles, one caveman says, “You know, I bet if we steamed that and dipped it in some ketchup it wouldn’t taste half bad.”
Other caveman responds: “That or use it as some kind of weapon.”
HUGS!!! 🙂

Thank you, Carolyn.
Wait . . . cavemen had ketchup?
But, yes, they look . . . spiny.
