Colorchallenge Sunday Purple: Thistle at the Side of the Road

Here is today's contribution to the popular #colorchallenge photo contest, originally started by @kalemandra and now seen all over Steemit. This may actually be Steemit's oldest running photo challenge by now!

Today's theme is "Sunday Purple;" purple is also the color corresponding to the Crown Chakra.

It's funny how the plants we call "weeds" are often some of the more visually stunning one we see. Like this thistle, at the side of the road — a painfully prickly, yet very beautiful flower.

Have a beautiful day!
