The Beauty of the Thistle


Summer here is waning ...


The beautiful blossoms of the season nearly passed ...


Have turned into an explosion of fruits, nuts and seeds!

Bringing a different kind of beauty to my world ...


And sharing a dried thistle heart in anticipation of the swiftly approaching Autumn!

To get your flower-fix for the week, join us over at Tina's "Weekend Flowers"!

To see hearts from around the world, visit "Random Hearts", and share YOUR heart on Guest Heart Thursday (through Sunday)!
