Day 317: I've been putting off photographing Canada Thistles (Cirsium arvense) because...well, because who wants to look at one of Washington's worst invasive weeds? That said, thistles have their own brand of beauty, particularly the huge Scotch thistles which look almost like small artichokes. However, if humans hate thistles, other creatures find them appealing.
I did not realize my Canada thistle was occupied when I shot the image. As usual, I had zoomed in from some distance to make my "close-up." It wasn't until I got the photos into the computer that I realized someone had taken up a Canadian residency, and was hanging around waiting for breakfast.
