How about a Bull Thistle? They are terribly prickly. I hate them.
What about some foliose and crustose lichens on a Burr Oak? I like lichens:)

I hear you on that thistle! They're the only things that can make me wear gloves to pull out weeds!
ReplyDeleteThe lichen is so lacy, isn't it!
Very nice, a fellow lichen lover I see..:-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures and full of texture. I love texture. But I have such a time finding what Ed wants us to do.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots! Lichens on a burr oak.. makes a perfect texture! Cool!
ReplyDeleteooooo, spikey stuff! Love them both but like the color in the thistle.
ReplyDeleteI actually like thistles and love your photo!
ReplyDeleteI actually love thistles, and love your photo.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me that donkeys and horses will eat thistle. I get a laugh out of watching how delicately my horse will nip a little piece of thistle off to chew.
ReplyDeleteLichens! Waaa I wish my memory card had arrived for this challenge so I could go outside. Great shots! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice textures here!
ReplyDeleteThese are GREAT.
ReplyDeleteI love texture and find out that the photos that I take that I like the most always have a texture element to them.
Good job! We call those Canadian Thistle here:) Horses LOVE them, it's true as Shirley says.
ReplyDeleteThe lichens are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThistle...nice selection!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a bull thistle yet and yes, quite prickly looking uh.
ReplyDeleteThistle is such a beautiful plant too bad it is so awful for farmers. Beautiful choices.
ReplyDeleteyour second photos almost looks like coral, very interesting
ReplyDeleteMe too, I love the lichen. Great entry for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThose two are interesting subjects and evoke touch just looking at them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...love the lichen!

Hi there..we have thistle here too. These are a perfect for texture..and that second one is cool-
ReplyDeleteThat Bull thistle looks pretty mean! But the bloom is beautiful. The lichen is interesting. We just collected a variety of mosses and lichens to put on our photo blog (there goes that great minds thing again!)
