Bull Thistle (Cirsium vulgare) is a prickly wildflower native of Europe, Asia and northern Africa. It was introduced to the U.S. in the early 1800s and is now very common. A member of the Sunflower family, Bull Thistles can be found growing in fields, gardens, and roadsides.
The Bull Thistle is a biennial plant, which means it lives for two years and then dies. The first year it grows a rosette, a cluster of leaves near the ground. The second year it produces purple to pink flowers from July to September. The resulting fruits produce "thistledown," small seeds with fluffy material. These type of seeds (achenes) are transported by the wind.
Despite the fact the Bull Thistle is distasteful to most grazing animals, and is considered a noxious weed in nine states, the plants remain a good food source for many wild animals. Eastern Cottontails and White-tailed Deer eat the leaves and stems. Flower nectar is consumed by hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. The seeds are popular with many birds, such as American Goldfinches and Juncos, as well as mice and other small mammals.

Part of my Light Painting (Set)
As my comment to Jane says below, I'm not totally sure if I can remember how I did this one (I took around 300 photos in the same session so my memory could well be playing tricks on me) - what I am sure about is that I used an LED colour changing unit and a turntable - and (I believe) a glass paper weight.
Here's a kaleidoscope based on this shot called Light Painting #6 kaleidoscope
Thanks to Jane in Colour for encouragement and guidance.
Please check out her wonderful photos here: Light in Motion.
My first experiment in painting with light (well, I had to do something to celebrate getting the tax return finished.)
Painted with an LED torch (gives a nice white light) over a 30 second exposure.
We receive the the brightest light from the smallest things.
This lamp is from my mom's collection of rik rak. It is a bout an 11/2" tall. I think it is a pretty big image
Decorations lighted-up along Serangoon Road, Little India for the celebration of Deepavali Festival 2015.
Inspired by Lisa Epp's (islandgirlsj) photography of her house and the way she can capture so many simple moments so beautifully.
