This beautiful photo was taken last spring in Pagosa Springs Colorado. When I took the picture I did not realize that the thistle spore was on the petal. I was so excited when I saw the photo! It came out absolutely beautiful - in my opinion.
I submitted it to a photo contest where it has moved up the list and is now an Editors Choice photo. I am now waiting for the final contest results to see if it will go any further.
