Pink thistle
Close to the water at Bowman Bay, part of Deception Pass State Park in the Pacific Northwest, were growing these pink flowers, which I’m pretty sure are in the thistle family. They were about waist high. In the background is the pier into the bay, a lovely stroll out towards even more beautiful views.
Visit Scenic Sunday, Outdoor Wednesday, Pink Saturday and Macro Monday for other interesting images. So glad you could drop by here.

This is a lovely photo. I love the color of the thistle and their abundance in your photo. I love Deception Pass. The view from the bridge is incredible. Hoping you have a glorious Northwest week.

Aren’t those pretty! I love the three stages of the bloom that’s showing – the little tight ball, then the loosened petals to the fluffy bloom. Lovely photo!
