A weed...

A weed? One man's weed in another's flower. I'd be happy to have them en masse!
 
Already posted in another thread but I'm pleased with myself so I'm sticking it in here too. These are wild Scottish Bluebells growing on a hillside facing Loch Lomond. There were some lovely thistles that I may go back for if I get a nice day.

Very good. You have to go and shoot those thistles. I remember many years ago my grandfather defending a monstrous thistle that was growing in our farmyard (in Northern Ireland, so probably same as the ones you mention...) and when it flowered I could see why. Shoot some and make a nice big print to help you through the winter months...

Ok, had to do it; after a record 20 something days over a hundred degrees and a two month drought. Here's what the flowers look like in Houston.
The feeling I was trying to create; bleached out flower bones in the desert. Wasn't exactly satisfied with this image, but after all of the other pretty flower pictures I had to post it.
