I'm not enough of a horticulturalist to know what this is in its winter brown attire, but it caught my eye as we passed by on our Saturday afternoon walk at Bennington Lake (see Thursday's post). The contrast with the grey-blue sky and its coordination with the field behind it demanded attention...so I snapped a shot! If anyone can identify this plant, kudos to you!

That plant is called Teasal. It looks like a Thistle but isn't. Grows in ditches etc, that seed head is jam full of tiny seeds and will get everywhere. Hope that helps. MB
Me again. Also florists use the pod for arrangements. It dries nicely. I have put them in Christmas Wreaths that I have made. I'll go quietly now. BYE MB
Now that we know what it is, we can say that it's a great shot!
Thanks, Small City! Funny...I almost wrote something in my post about how it looked like a thistle. Ha! Thanks for helping me out with this. And thanks, Cieldequimper!
