Common thistle plant (Dipsacaceae) encased in ice
The common thistle is one of the Teasel Family members. It is also known under the following names: Dipsacus sylvestris, card teasel, card-thistle, barber's brush, brushes and combs, church broom, gypsy-combs, Venus' basin, Venus'-cup, wild teasel. Common thistle grows around marshes, pastures, abandoned fields, roadsides, railroads, and waste areas. The species prefers damp, coarse and fertile soils.
Common thistle originates in Europe and was imported sometime ago into North America, possibly as an ornamental or more likely because the dried flowers were used in wool production. At this time, common thistle can be found areas in the northeastern U.S., southern Canada, and the Pacific Coast.
I photographed this beautiful glassy-looking specimen in a nearby marsh just before Christmas 2013 when we had the really bad ice storm wreaking a havoc through many parts of southern Ontario.
I got my first Czech-made 35mm Etareta film camera in early 60's from my father (who used it for at least another fifteen years before me) and have been photographing and developing prints ever since. The other passions are travelling and love of nature that go well with photography. Over the last ten years, I published a series of four panorama books covering Toronto and the "near North" region in Ontario, and my prints have been sold by number of local galleries. Many of my images are distributed also by several stock agencies. Thank you for finding this wonderful FAA site and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I am. Note: If an image has the FAA watermark in the lower right hand corner it will NOT appear on any print you purchase....
