Teasel 2009.
Weeds need love, too. This is probably one of my favorite photographs. I knew it would be when I framed the shot. This gorgeous plant, almost as tall as I am, is as fierce as it is beautiful and arms itself with vicious spikes. In days past, the plant’s spiky flower was dried and used as a grooming comb. Today the dried flowers are used in floral arrangements. I like this one best growing wild near the edge of mt Aunt’s garden.
They are called “Distel” in German.
I think they are beautiful and so is your shot!
Thank you. I was impressed with how well this shot came out. If only I could capture that magic consistently.
Tell me about it, grin 🙂
Nicole — well, after I typed that it did dawn on me that my good shots come a bit more frequently, so if we keep clicking, maybe the day will come.
You are right.
I remember my total beginnings and then advancing in macros. It was a great feeling.
Now with the big Babe I had to learn it all over, but I’m starting to get the hang of it.
Of course, if I would read that darn manual and the book that I bought just for that cam…….mpf……. 😉
