Wild things

 A a few photos taken at that Spiky Bridge on the southern east coast of Tasmania.  Plenty of blackberries, thistles and several grapes growing along the way.

  1. Lots of thistles in the wild over here too...love the deep purple colour and they are good at treating arthritis.

    1. So you have them too, farmer's spend much time removing those thistles from their soil. Didn't know about treating arthritis! Thanks

  3. When we were little we entertained ourselves by running and blowing the dry flowers of the thistle we called "bakers"

    1. Well you see I didn't know that about thistles, knew they came from Scotland and I have a brooch which is rather large of the thistle which I used to wear when I used to do Scottish dancing.

  5. Thistles give that wonderful texture and patterns. I can even feel the fluffy sensation on my cheeks when looking at it. Beautiful flora in the region.

  14. The blackberries will be good for picking in summer, eating wild and foraging is becoming popular again, although we have always gone "blackberrying" from my childhood right through to the present. Everything old is new again! My sister-in-law once fell into the blackberry bushes - not funny for her but everyone laughed. Oh the memories. Thanks.
