Thistles

At least, that's what I think these are. There were fields of them, looking almost like they had been planted deliberately, but I doubt that.

I like the "mountain bokeh."

I think it is a thistle before the flower has emerged. The thorns are meaner looking than ours though. I like the mysterious, shallow DOF background. V

Love it! BV

What an cool looking plant. The leaves resemble thistle, but the pod is strange. Nice work on the photo (DoF) V

Interesting ball head on this plant! It seems more like a cactus than a thistle; but what do I know?
Very pretty plant and excellent dof! V

A beautiful image. Great use of the background blur. v

Very sharp, I can even see the spider webs. Terrific DOF too. V
