Spiny-Leaved Sow-Thistle (Sonchus asper)
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 1 August 2008 in Plant & Nature.
Discovered this Thistle for the first time in the meadow a few days ago. It is small.
Taken outdoors, tripod, macro lens.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Pretty. I am only familiar with the purple/pink thistle. I recently photographed a few of them.
