Summer Wildflowers

Seems like a long time since my last post.  Life has a way of throwing a few kinks your way and interfering with your fun!  But I have found time to snap off some shots of more wild flowers.  Today I focused on two not so pretty plants.  A thistle and a cactus.  While not pretty or impressive or even desired plants, the flowers make for pretty photos.  The thistle was taken in early evening as the sun was setting and I experimented with the light from the setting sun a bet.  Love your feedback.
