Teasel heads, late afternoon

Teasel

Teasel heads call to me. Though I know they are a ‘weed’ I like how the stalks are so straight and how the seed heads are so fuzzy. They are a favourite subject.

Ghostly suggestion

The ghostly suggestion of a building  – or is it a trick of the imagination? – lurks behind a stand of teasel.

Greeting the day

A stand of teasel greets a lovely, lovely dawn. A wonderful scene to set the tone for a good day.

Teasel in the snow

It does not, cannot, whine and whinge and moan about never-ending winter, where is spring? It waits. Spring will come. It will arrive when it arrives. Accept what is.

A lesson to embrace.

Greetings

A stand of teasel greets a glorious dawn. I’m very glad to have made time to stop, drink in this marvellous scene, and to share it with you.

Graced

A night of clear sky and no wind created perfect conditions for a morning frost. This teasel seed head was artfully graced with a light cloak of white.

Hoarfrost

Hoarfrost

Many things wore a coat of hoarfrost yesterday morning. This teasel head was one of the many touched by delicate beauty.
