On a recent drive hubby and I found some thistle along the road. I very carefully cut a couple to bring home and photograph outside on my deck. It's been almost six days so the thistle is no longer in pristine shape but I had my camera out and was happy with all the bubbles of bokeh I achieved with this shot.
While I was trying to position the jar to get the most of the light I noticed the mop head shadow in the dappled light.
