Love these. I don’t throw words like Bokeh about because I don’t understand them but… I like it 🙂 🙂

  Thanks Jo. Lockdown in spring taught me to hunt down the bokeh. And this was a return to that pastime x

Don’t think I’d like to pick those! They were once used for carding fleece, but I think I’d need strong gloves for the job. Love the way your photos show all the spikes.

  An interesting fact – thanks for that. They are popular with birds for their seeds. And I love seeing them at this time of year
