Lots of snow first thing today. Took this shot of a thistle head whilst walking the dog and birding.

The Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) flowers from the middle of the flower head. well worth photographing on a time delay camera.

You need a special camera timer and a garden where you can leave your camera alone for a few days. Try googling "Time Delay Cameras"
Some gardens have teasels growing
