thistle

Expansive is from my Naturally Abstract collection and was composed at the Grove Plantation near Adams Run, SC. The thistle here reminded me of an explosion since it appears to be expanding out from the center in all directions.

Gold Strips is from my Naturally Abstract collection and was composed at the Grove Plantation near Adams Run, SC. The wind was well above my normal limit, and even with a plamp, the conditions were very challenging. It is a dried thistle head.
