This beautiful thistle stands in the prairie just beyond our gate and little wooden bridge into the woodlands. I love wildflowers like these that retain their beauty throughout the seasons. You can see it in summer here with it's soft lavender hue.
I am so excited to announce the Life-n-Reflection's new weekly Photography Meme... SEASONS!! It's been a long time coming. I live and create a life connected to the seasons. Cooking with seasonal fresh produce, creating with in-season herbs and fragrances, filling our home with seasonal color, and wandlerlusting (yes, I just made up that word) with my camera in tow every season. I am still inspired by textures natural and enhanced. I will continue to share photography editing tips and tutorials without the weekly Texture Twist. The Seasons meme requires no texture. Seasonal photography, stories, and projects are welcome! The link up is open Monday through Friday each week and will be shared across Instagram too for those with or without a blog! Phew... now let's get this started!!

Thanks Gayle, me too and we have plenty of them in our woods!
DeleteOops...posted before I read it's a new meme so I did delete it. Will stop back with one more seasonal to link up. Sounds like a fun meme. :)
