Teasels

Teasel - from Merriam-Webster
a : an Old World prickly herb (Dipsacus fullonum of the family Dipsacaceae, the teasel family) with flower heads that are covered with stiff hooked bracts and were used especially formerly in the woolen industry —called also fuller's teasel.


These 'prickly herbs' surround wetlands here in Utah and I love the way they stand and show themselves - whether with hoarfrost, backlit light, snow, raindrops - they are beautiful. Capturing that beauty is not easy for me - so here is another attempt to share the specialness they bring to me, with you!
