Description
Walking in a small wetlands area in Danvers, Massachusetts. Thank you all that contributed to the name of this posting. Google does provide photos that confirm Thistle. It will zoom.
Alligators are cold blooded reptiles and after a cold night, they have to lie in the sun to regenerate a warm body. I was not in any danger while taking my last post. This is an outside storage building and not attached to a home. There are many things that I could have danced around if he had decided to get aggressive. Thanks for your concerns and comments. Alan (Katraz) wants a better photo of his teeth. I will work on that when we return to Florida but only with a long lens.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Lovely! I think it's a sea holly, they like it rather dry. Thankyou for that pic of an alligator trying to get into someone's porch! I'm glad our reptiles are all mainly under six inches.
I don't know what is its name, it is a very pretty plant, but I think it stings! Superb capture, Dana! Je ne connais pas son nom, c'est une très jolie plante, mais je pense qu'elle pique! Superbe photo, Dana!
Very cool photo, Dana! no clue as to what this plant really is
There are a few plants similar to those here, among the Alps... In Italy we call them "cardi" but I don't know their scientific name... I'm sure there are many species of them, some of them are edible... Great picture, I like how you got their blueish colour...
This looks like a thistle to me... Nicely captured.
belle!
Very unique, a great capture!
unkown on my end, Dana. keep you distance from the gator..
The leaves which is around the kind of flower looks like silver, and I've seen 'silver thistles' in the Alps. They look like these, but have a bigger heart and flower. This is a lovely photo and plant, Dana. (I guess the Latin name is: 'Carlina acaulis' ) Thank you for explaining about the alligator, and I'm curious about that close-up of its tooth. :)
Very nice POV on this thistle image, and glad you weren't in any danger on that last shot!
Very esthetic and graphic capture, Dana !
Pretty silver stars.
They are very spikey :o)) Amazing that you take pics of alligators in the wild!!!!! xxx
Love the POV!!!
Very cool looking plant!! Very thorny too! Nice shot!
great POV
I'm thinking this looks an awful lot like sea holly, or eryngium; try googling that to see what you find, Dana. Beautiful shot, I love these flowers!
no matter how beautiful a thistle flower is they are still a pain where ever they attach their self to your clothing. I still appreciate their beauty and keep my distance. superb capture
Lovely capture!
Oui un téléobjectif sera préférable pour jouer les dentiste sur le crocodile. Superbe gros-plan mon ami et superbe plantes également.
An interesting looking plant. Excellent shot, fantastic details and DOF.
I go with the sea holly look up Eryngium. Bourgatii all though there are other garden varieties.
the leafs look so very filigran and beautiful! gorgeous composed and detailed capture! ;o)
cool shots of these. You can eat them just cut off the sharp points and wash them.
Great photo! When you get the picture of the alligator's teeth, could you snap a shot of the back of his tongue as well? (haha - just kidding!)
Some very excentric and beautiful flowers LOve them ,,,, Great pic ((5++))
Excellent POV !!!
stunning beauties!
Beautifully captured Dana. Congrats for making it into LWITG!!
