Here is another one of those plants we so often place in the weed category. We usually find it in an area that is not properly cared as it does not grow in barren ground. However, it is also know for its medicinal purposes, and when processed properly can be used for fodder for cows and horses. The seeds can used to make oil. And, the leaves are edible for those adventurous enough to try. I use them for images.
It’s been a while since I mentioned anything about the Canon G12 so here is a bit of an update. There has been a learning curve and I think it’s affected my photography. I say that because I have been so focused on learning the mechanics of the camera that my vision has suffered. The more comfortable I become as a craftsman with this tool, the better I see the world around me.

My first digital had (has) a EVF, which was quite a bet different than and SLR. It was a steep learning curve for me and I really didn’t like it at first. But over time and a lot of practice, it too became second nature. Hang in there with the G12 and I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

Thanks, Ken. I think you’re right. I also find it’s not as intrusive for street work. People are more relaxed around a smaller camera.

I follow your comments on the G12 closely. One of these days, I still may get an upgrade in the Canon G series.
I am quite fond of thistles and the for the same reason as you. I love photos of them. It appears that whatever the annoyances of the learning curve, it will have been worthwhile. In addition to its other strong points, the camera does seem perfectly suited for street work.

Thanks, Anita. My primary reason for the G12 was for my work travel. It’s size and image quality were the big draw. I’m now beginning to enjoy using it. 🙂
