Along the path upon which I walked,
I saw a bee…
(please click on any of the images below to view)
…and wildflowers…
…and fluffy things upon which to make wishes…
If anybody knows what the proper name of these fluffy things are, please let me know. I tried looking them up online and I know they’re not from cottonwood trees, or from dandelions. I don’t think that they’re milkweed pods either. I’m actually stumped!

I believe those fluffy things are thistle (milk thistle that is)…
Oh Alex! You’re not an awful trainer… you’re the best!
I can’t believe I could have just asked you! R thinks you’re correct, by the way.
