Thistle heads

Thistle heads

Frost and wind-blown snow soften and add colour to these thistle seed heads I found by the roadside. We often miss simple, unadorned yet lovely sights, sounds, experiences because we are too ‘busy’.

Beauty can be found even on a -14C morning if we are open to taking a moment from the busy-ness of our lives to seek, to appreciate it. I am trying to learn to stop, to look, to see. My photography seems to be helping open me up to it.
