Explosion of Fluff N Stuff

Around the back of my place by the swamp (which is very happy since the rain) grows the most magnificent Thistle well there's two actually..... both in different stages.

I LOVE dandelions but to me the fluff n stuff from the thistle is just so magic along with those very sharp and prickly bits........ I love how the sharp and the soft live side by side......a bit like life really.

Starting the day off today with a total eclipse of the sun.......some bad news...some good news......and another bloody bill.

This exploding thistle was the perfect symbol for the day.

Really lovely LARGE
