Message
A dancing crowd of thistles against a cool fall sky makes for a cheerful botanical landscape painting.
I am partial to thistles for their extraordinary structure and resilience! Stout and impervious to wind and weather, and a delightful color. And somehow, just the growth pattern of thistle plants suggests dancing movement as they stretch out leaves (and thorns) and reach for the sun.
