Caught!

Last month I posted this photo of teasel heads in a field:

In order to tell this story properly, I have to give credit to Lizzi for taking this picture while our youngest daughter was in gymnastics class. While  browsing through last week's pictures for something to post, I stumbled across a folder of pictures our oldest daughter had taken with her new "grown-up" camera.  I had to laugh when I saw this picture of her holding a dried flower with Mom in the background snapping the teasel photo:

Teasel II

Last year I posted a similar picture of what I thought was thistle.  MB of Small City Scenes correctly pointed out that this is actually Teasel.  It's considered an invasive species and it seems to like disrupted areas like this empty lot in an industrial area of town.

Thanks MB for bringing a little knowledge to Bellingham Daily Photo!
