I really like thistle. Even before the petals unfurl, it’s picturesque. Sometimes they grow in nice compositions. I’m a little surprised I shot a macro shot at 1/15 second exposure, I have to say. I got lucky.

June 21, 2014. Nikon D7100 (DX sensor), 105mm Nikon macro lens (35mm equivalent: 155mm), f/22, 1/15, ISO 200.
