Any ideas what this is? I don't I took these photos at the Lime island coal dock of the plant and the Korkigian. I am using the full sized one for my desktop.

Dat's not a ferry, ferry's have wings, or limp wrists at least :D


I wonder if they really need a boat that big to haul a pickup truck?

The flower does look a lot like a thistle, no stickers tho huh. Still a real pretty flower, I can see why they get used as ornamentals then go feral. I wonder if that's the case of the one in your pic?

We have a new thistle that is really taking over the pastures here called russian thistle. Makes canadian thistle look manageable.

My dads favorite torture for us kids when he'd run out of other things for us to do was go cut down the bull thistles in the pastures.

The plant in the picture is spotted knapweed. It was brought over from Europe as a flower, but soon escaped it's flower bed and began spreading.  it grows in poor soils and spreads fast.   I'm fighting very hard to keep it out of my fields as it spreads down the road ditches.
I eat a high-fiber diet.  Lots of sawdust!

Spotted knapweed, eh?   I'm glad someone knew, because I didn't have a clue.

I did know that it wasn't a Fairy boat. :)
