thistle

I was driving through Shelburne yesterday and for the umpteenth time saw a plant along the roadside I didn't recognize.


I stopped to take a look. It was some kind of thistle. Looking through my wildflower book it appears to be Canada Thistle. Its leaves were turning. I've never noticed that before.


Another example of the beautiful within the ordinary. Again, for the umpteenth time. Next to the thistle I found some Butter and Eggs flowering. No, Doug, this is not another name for Birdsfoot Trefoil.
