I love painting thistles, I have a Scotch glass even with thistle etchings. Thanks for the pics
That sounds great! Would be nice to see one of your paintings, I’ll have a look at your site. Thanks for commenting Terry.
Jag älskar dessa vassa skönheter … fantastiska foton!
Tack så mycket Anki!
Snart får vi Tistlar i Kårböle också, de är på gång.

Stickiga men fina när de blommar. Tack för din kommentar Svante!
Very nice colors! 😀
Thkan you Nuno! 🙂
Underbara foton, Anita! Blått i fonden är ljuvligt till dessa skönheter!
Tack Leya! 😁
Så vackra bilder.
Som alltid enastående bilder! Du visar verkligen tistlarnas skönhet. Har alltid gillat dom, för de är på något sätt annorlunda blommor som inte liknar någon annan tycker jag. Tycker även om de minst sagt passande citaten du lagt upp. Bra research där!
Tack 😁
Tistlar är dekorativa skönheter, vackert förevigade av dig!
Tack så mycket!
Håller med Confucius. Exakt så är det och du har precis visat att det är så. Väldigt vackra foton!
Otroligt vackra bilder Anita! 🙂
Tack så jättemycket Annica för dina fina kommentarer, både här och på min andra blogg.
Mitt nöje är det 🙂
They are really amazing … especially the colour!
Du får ***** för bilderna!

Wow! Those are very nice close up shots! I wonder if we also have that plant here in my side of the world.
I believe there are thistles even in your place on earth. Thank you kindly for your comment Miss N! I tried to comment twice at your site but for some reason my comments disappeared.
Hi Anita! I am so sorry that you had to try three times. But really, I was awed that you did not give up. It really warmed my heart. Thank you so very much for that. Your comments did not get through because you were commenting for the first time, and I had to approved it first before your succeeding comments could get through. I want to apologize for that. Now all comments can get through in a breeze 🙂
So Beautiful !
Thank you kindly for your comment Antonia!
In your camera, Thistles are indeed beautiful 🙂
