Thistle

I saw this thistle on the edge of the yard while walking the dogs last evening and I thought it would make a good subject. Yikes, i knew these plants were deadly with their thorns but never realized just how bad they were until I sketched them. They remind me of cacti.

  1. Great job Teri. These are considered a invasive weed here. We have them all over along the back fields. They are wicked but can be so pretty too.
