Thistle

I thought the detail on this thistle flower bloom was intricate and delicate, but I couldn't get the camera lens to focus on something so small with all of the background distraction of the other grasses.  Also, it was just windy enough to make the picture incredibly fuzzy. After taking about 50 pictures that were frustrating, then putting down the camera to just enjoy it with my eyes, since I thought the best picture I could get would be in my memory, I saw this Styrofoam plate of trash nearby.  Wha-La, an instant backdrop that took away the visual distraction and allowed the camera to capture that tiny detail.  Or maybe I want a better camera. Oh, well. Enjoy!
