Silly Thistle

I love the name of this thistle – it’s what you would be if you sat on it. Silybum. It just appeals to my juvenile sense of humour.

A cold feeling wet day, so a trip to the botanics.

Taken at the maximum shutter speed for the flash, and a small aperture so that the back ground was blacked out.
