Bull Thistle +/- 500ft.

Bald Mountain, Shenandoah Range. George Washington National Forest near Harrisonburg VA.  With an altitude of 3680' there is some magnificent stuff happening there all the time.  I was there over the weekend having some trail rides in my Jeep Cherokee. We had a BLAST!  I found some Bull Thistle with early morning dew still clinging to it t around 10am.  Then 500ft. up when we got atop of Bald Mountain the wind was blowing steadily.  It was 37deg. and the fog/clouds were freezing molecules atop themselves in the direct wind.  What a wild image.  The flowers were still in color and unprepared for the onslaught.  It was fantastic to see.
