Thistle
I took these pictures in the rain. I've been waiting for someone to ask if I got a new camera. :) Yup, Olympus Stylus 770SW, it's waterproof too. Theoretically you can go swimming with it but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.
The thistle are blooming and they are awesome! Very cool looking blooms.
Got some stuff growing in the garden, these are either zuchini, squash, pumpkins, or cucumbers. I lost track of what is what.
You can see the lavendar in the foreground. It's starting to go brown. I don't know if I didn't water it enough or if it's just the end of lavendar season. :)
