Heavenly Blue

I was running an errand this week when I happened upon these Blue Thistles along the sidewalk so of course I grabbed the camera from my bag and here they are! The blue was so beautiful in the sunshine and we have had so much rain that all the green served as a perfect backdrop.

  6. That's funny, I noticed some of these on a walk the other day and thought I hadn't paid much attention to them before. They must be proliferating!
