Thistledown

Thistledown blowing in the wind

I’m really proud of this picture. The wind was blowing hard so I had to hold the plant steady with one hand while taking the picture with the other, and I was worried that the seeds (as they flew off the thistle-head) would come out blurred - but they haven’t. Clever camera.

It might have looked even better though if I'd taken it from further back.
