    When ever I see a purple thistle, I think of my mother-in-law who emigrated from Scotland to the U.S.A. when she was 18 years old with her younger brother. She told me that she saw purple thistle where she was born often. Your macro photograph really sets off the purple thistle. Nice Outdoor Wednesday post this week.

    love it
    It does my heart good to tour around the gardens that are linked into my little party...I so wish every one of the people who share lived close enough that I could walk the gardens in person. Thank you so much for sharing with me this week...I hope you will again very soon!
    I am sharing this post on my Facebook page for Tootsie Time
    Hugs and smiles from Alberta Canada to you!
