Mmm, love this. It reminds me of the writer, Ross Gay and the way he loves to share in the delight of this world with others. You know him? I think you’d love him, as I do.

Lovely! Why the name? I am guessing the elk love grazing it. Thanks for a sweet morning “Monet” moment!

Beautiful poem. Glad to know the name of that prickly thing too... and to learn of its resilience.

Way to tug at the tethers of my heart. Thistle, tents, love, places I love deep in my soul, and places I have yet to visit. Beautiful photo and beautiful poetry.
