The only thing soft on this, are the sprays of purple coming off the head of this beast. It is nothing but menacing.
If everything on God's green earth has a purpose, could someone tell me the purpose of the thistle? To be 6' tall and covered in needles? Yikes. While it is visually pleasing, I don't understand the value of thistle. (other than giving me the ability to understand why there are other plants/flowers I like much better.) Does any good come from such a prickly beast?

Well I'm not a botanist, but seems this beaut' needs it's spiky spires just to protect itself from your verbal barbs ; ) If there are no things in life that we dislike, how would we know what we like? I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all. I love the shot BTW. The sharp edged subject against the soft shapes of light... very nice. If for no other purpose, then to become a piece of art in life!
