I see that you treat your thistles as florals. Lovely poetic photographs here!
Steven Schwartzman replied:
Thanks, Adria. Yes, I treat thistles as wildflowers, and they're among the most photogenic I know, whether budding (as here), flowering, or turning into a loose mass of down. The Texas thistle plants are just coming up now in Austin, and I'm excited to see them.
