Thistledown

Southern Vancouver Island

Thistledown is the mass of silky, feathery plumed seeds produced by a thistle. The wind carries these
seed clusters and disperses them across the landscape. The tiny seeds are a favourite of goldfinches
and some other small birds. ~ Wikipedia

Superb dof and light. It will soon be floating away on the breeze!
