A safe place to hide

A safe place to hide
The Nodding or Musk Thistle is my favourite species of Thistle - though it is a weed, but a very beautiful one. I went with my youngest daughter to the Erlton/Roxboro Natural Area on 26 July 2013, to photograph anything we could find that interested us, and I was so happy to see that there were some of these Thistles to show her. One even had a tiny Seven-Spotted Ladybug hiding within the spiky bracts. Two introduced species.
