Thistle

For John's birthday, he asked for a long, on-way trip on the Ocklawaha River.  I was OH YES PLEASE.  Extra is our lunch stop on a sandy bluff.  The main is a Bristle Thistle near Gore's Landing, at the end of the trip.  I like to stalk thistles (pun totally intended) for pollinators but no one showed up, so its just the electric purple blossom for today.
