These make a super picture and zoom is even better.
Lovely name Thistledown!!!
A bit like hairy beatniks from the 60's lol
When we were kids we used to call them fairies as they drifted in the Summer breeze. Great shot Andrea :)
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Fantastic shot of these fairies, in childhood they were often called that... great zoomed.
a beautiful close up, love the colours and textures
I remember these from childhood. We would toss them into the air and watch them float away. Lovely image and lovely memories.
So pretty! What a great shot!
Oooh, I love this stuff. It's always vaguely golden, and well...I love a good thistle, anyway, and seeing this is the promise of even more thistles. A good thing, as long as you don't get the business bits stuck in your hair. This also reminds me of an urban phenomenon, known in my particular part of Chicago. In certain areas of Chicago, there is a phenomenon called "tumble-weave"...I'm gonna try to get photos of that! You can probably guess what it is. This is such a rich-detailed photo! Those fluff-filaments look like silk.
this photo would make a great jigsaw puzzle for the one you dislike! Great capture
incredible sharpness !
Just imagine that lot floating into your garden.
Another I apparently missed. Cracking shot.
Great capture !!!
So light and airy, I always loved images like this... nicely done. :)
I love the light, fluffy softness this has. Beautiful!
Nicely seen and captured.
Beautiful and a good wind will spread them all over the countryside!
Excellent "hairy" composition !
