In the Weeds

I know this teasel is such a pesky weed around here, but it's such an interesting photography subject that I have a hard time staying away from it. 

Teasel

Well I learned something today.  Yesterday I thought this plant was thistle, but it turns out this variation is called teasel.  And that it's an invasive species!  Guess it sort of has that look in today's photo.  Seems like I have a knack for photographing invasive species!

Winter Teasel

Such a sparkly frost outside of Eugene, Oregon on Saturday.  I'm hoping to head out with my camera tomorrow, but for today I have a lot to catch up on, so I'm posting one more frosty photo from our drive in Oregon last week.  It's a good dichotomy; so delicate and so tough at the same time.  Plus one of the prettiest winter blues I've captured in the sky color.
