We have thistle in the Everglades, but it's the least of our worries. I have a rash on my hand that I can't figure out what it's from, whether it was poison ivy or poison wood or something else. The mysteries in the swamp never end!
I love, love, love this shot! Its awesome, Janie... I remember the first time I came across a thistle. I thought it was so gorgeous I just had to touch it... big mistake, big ouchie too!
Apparently not. These guys seem perfectly content with their prickly thistle snack.
lovely macro shot. i love it.

ReplyDeleteHi Janie, That thistle must not be 'prickly' to those bees... Ya think???? Interesting... Wish they could talk to us and tell us WHY... ha
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy

ReplyDeleteGuess I'd be thinking, sure is pretty and rather sweet.
ReplyDeletefor such a prickly weed, it sure looks pretty as do the bumbles.
ReplyDeleteWhatever about the thistle being prickly, take a look at the fantastic colour. Looks like those bees are enjoying themselves.
ReplyDeleteAmazing closeup. You've captured the details very nicely!
