Milkweed and Other Things

I had a meeting at 1:00 today, so I picked up lunch somewhere and brought it back.  That gave me a little time to take a walk during lunch today.  So I took my camera with me.

 We have a few milkweeds behind the building.  I actually like to take pictures of milkweed because they have neat textures.

 Especially if there are some seeds coming out.

 It was a little on the windy side and that was making the plants sway a bit.

 This is probably my favorite of the bunch.

 We also have a few thistles.  These make for even better pictures, I think.

 I kind of like this picture.

 I really like the cherry maples we have in front of the building.  Although I like them better if it is raining out.
