Knapweed Pre-Bloom, Corvallis, Montana

It's amazing what you see if you walk around looking at the ground! This tactic prevents stepping in varied unpleasantries, and also gives you front-row views of miniature works of art. Case in point: spotted knapweed buds. Before its heathery purple flowers bloom, you can observe these creations of intricate lines and feathery plumes. Reminds me of a pineapple fruit, or a Faberge egg.
What does it suggest to your mind?

  1. Cool shot, Cyndy--makes me think of underwater creatures.

    1. Ooo, I like that! Something in a tide pool, or maybe in the deep sea, hanging out with those fish with the forehead lanterns!
