Prickly Beauty

Arizona thistle is a species of the genus Cirsium. This one was seen at Cape Royal, North Rim, Grand Canyon, which provides a colorful backdrop for this thorny flower.

Thanks for your visit -- I appreciate your comments, faves, and constructive criticism. But, please NO MULTIPLE INVITES and refrain from posting your images and Flickriver badges into my photostream; I simply do not have time to give them the attention they deserve.

Have a great day whenever you see this!
