While taking my daily walk

In between my rather mediocre efforts at building a suitable chicken run and coop for my guinea fowl, I take walks. I have started bringing my new, and ever so wonderful Nikon D80 with me.

Thistles are a scourge on farmers. I had hoped they were all gone, but it looks like a few more popped up. I need to chop them down, but it is very hard to do that when they attract so many butterflies. Butterflies love thistles.

Gosh Beth - that is amazing. Looks like the farm is agreeing with you!

Gorgeous! I know farmers hate 'em, but they're arresting when they bloom. And so are the butterflies...

Beth!!! That's beautiful. The photo is beautiful, I think you have a real eye for photography.

That's just beautiful, Beth! I can't imagine how you could improve the shot.

Great shot, Beth :-) Add to your To-Do list to plant some *other* butterfly attracting foliage that isn't as nasty as thistles! Then you won't have to give up pretty shots like this one !
