A Prickly Treat

Coco loves thistle. 
Notice how he bares his teeth so his lips won't touch the prickles!  Those flowers must taste really good to be worth the effort.

  1. Do you think Coco would be willing to come to Tennessee and help control some of our thistles? I've never considered them as a yummy treat, but Coco could have all that he finds.

  2. I told Bob about the horses liking thistle after you blogged about it Janie. He was dubious, so I called him to see the "proof" of what Coco had for b-fast!

  3. You got this exquisite eye to create photographs. The horse image is so well composed.

  4. Well, that must be tasty. I myself would chew on rocks rather than risk getting prickled on the face.

  5. If bees like thistle it must be sweet.

  7. Coco really knows what he is doing, doesn't it???? We have lots of thistles around here --but I don't go near them... Maybe Coco should visit us!!!!!
