Thistle and Friends

[Joe Colozzo]

Birds were quiet and the sun was always being bright but the buds were there. So shoot them with telephoto lens. I was pretty happy with how the came out.

First one is a bee in a thorn thistle flower and the second is a Skipper Butterfly so I am told.

All C&C welcomed

Nice work.

Excellent work with the details and especially in the second one.

Very cool Joe! I consider thistles to be weeds, and I equate weeds with trash. But… the flowers that grown on thistles rank right up there to me as some of the coolest flowers there are. So good job on switching your focus to these.

I like them both, probably lean towards #1 as my favorite.

Careful Jim, Thistles are the national emblem of Scotland . These thistles look nice but a lot less prickly than our ones. Ken
