New Herkimer Diamond

New Herkimer Diamond
This is one of my new herkimer diamonds.  I thought this an interesting capture.  You must get close to see it better. This one is larger than the one with the dime.

Bull Thistle



Bull Thistle
The scientific name for this is cersium vulgare.

They bloom about this time of the year.  I try to show the plant blooms I present at the time of year they bloom.  These were big nasty thistles which grew in the pasture.  The cows ignored them.  That was the time of  the year Dad would "clip" the pasture.  To my knowledge clipping the pasture was a purely aesthetic process.  I would never have thought to consider them beautiful back then.
