    Gotta go with the spiky one, just because it's different. What an unusual plant!

    Nie chcę wybierać, bo mi się oba podobają, chociaż drugi może ukłuć. Pozdrawiam

    Spiky! I've always had a soft spot for thistles (pun not intended).

    Both are definitely beautiful but the hydrangea certainly has better manners in the garden! Larry

    Are you asking me to CHOOSE between 2 of your photos? What, have you lost your senses! Love the first one because of the depth of field and the composition with the bridge columns at the back. Love the second one because I'm an absolute fan (i) of your photos and (ii) and hydrangeas.

    I like them both as well. The purple-pink of the thistle is great! :)

  33. JeanneNovember 18, 2011 at 12:27 PM

    I think that I would have to choose the spiky thistle. Love the colors and all of the details. Does that mean I am a spiky person???? Not sure. Really nice photos. Is your weather still springy? or has summer arrived?

  34. LizNovember 18, 2011 at 2:19 PM

    Are you asking me to choose between 2 brilliant shots!! Your photography always brings a smile to my face.
    The depth of field in the first is amazing! (Michael would choose it because it's a Scottish Thistle and that's his heritage. Ha!). The second is just beautiful and soft... and reminds me of my childhood. :)
    Great shots, both of them, Karen so I can't choose!!!

    a miracle , really, isn't it ! How all these different beauties are made by the same big hearted One! That our hearts might take joy and pass it on !
    I like the thistle lots but I would never brush it against my cheek like I would the other one... close my eyes and imagine baby skin from years back...

    I love thistles ( leave the wild ones on our property for the birds and butterflies) and I also love hydrengas--I can't pick a favorite either!

    Hydrangeas are my very favorite flowers. But to make a choice between this two perfect shots is not possible.. for me!

    This time, I like the spiky. It reminds me of my trip to the mountains where there were a lot of these and there were butterflies all around!
