Farewell to the Old and in with the New

As you probably know, I've been using my mom's account to do a blog since I wasn't old enough to make my own account, but now that I'm 13 I've made my own account.  I'll put a link or something in this post later and probably next Friday or sooner I'll delete this blog, hoping that everyone got the link to my blog by then.  So until I see you again on my blog, Happy Friday to all and to all a Good whatever-time-of-day-it-is!  :3

Wait, it's actually Cynara

Okay, so I just renamed this blog because I wanted it to feel more personalized to my "me-ness".  So, my name isn't actually thistle, but it's a nickname that I got from some friends because my player name on a game that I play is Yellow-Thistle.   But there's still more to just "my in-game name is Yellow-Thistle," it's that my middle name is Cynara which is something like Latin for thistle.  I also chose that name because I'm kind of like a thistle, beautiful but can be dangerous and prickly if picked the wrong way(but since I'm a human and not a plant, I'm dangerous and prickly when threatened rather than picked).  So, basically my nickname to some people is Yellow or Thistle and I like that, so you can call me Thistle.

(BTW, I did get this pic from google, but all of the other pictures were taken by me)

About The Pics...

I never take anyone else's work.  If it's off the internet or just something my friend took a picture of, I'm not going to use that picture!  I only put pictures that I take of things on my blog.  Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that.



By the way, here is one of the big shrooms the next day when it was raining even harder(it was raining when i was outside taking the picture).

Look, Orange Ones, Too!

So, not only were there giant mushrooms but there were orange ones, too.  When I was looking around for some more interesting things after I found the giant ones, across the street there they were, what looked like little orange ping-pong balls.  So I decided to take a look and as I got closer, I noticed that what I was looking at wasn't a bunch of little ping-pong balls but clumps of cute, little bright orange mushrooms!  Now, these things were probably less than an inch tall but I thought to myself, "Oh my gosh, thats so amazing!" as I clicked dozens of pictures of these cute little things.

Giant Mushrooms!

Well, no, not really giant.  They sure do look like it from the pics, though, don't they?  So, earlier this week after it rained, I was walking around outside and guess what I found?  Mushrooms!  But not just any mushrooms, these mushrooms were much bigger than they usually are.  These mushrooms were about 7 or 8 inches tall when they're usually about 3 inches tall at the most.  I love taking pics from "fairy" view, it looks sooooo awesome. 
So, I bring you "Giant
 Mushrooms!"

A Bird Picture, Finally!

So, in a post that i did a while ago i said that i would post a picture of a Europeon Starling.  Well, I still dont have that picture.  But, i do have a picture that i took of a Blue Jay, YAY!  I've gotten better at either taking bunches of quick pictures of a bird as soon as i see it...or accepting the fact that the bird just flew away because my dog saw a ferral cat across the park and just had to bark at it right then and to just get over it(large exhale).  Anyway, atleast now I can take a semi-awesome picture of a bird.

The Farm

So last weekend I went to the farm with Lala, uncle Kyle,and Lilly.  I had so much fun!  Like driving the Kubota, that was really awesome.  We drove through a bunch of puddles and I saw some pretty flowers,too (not that I wasn't paying attention or anything...hehe).   Anyway, when I was walking around the garden, I saw this pretty flower that apparently was a bloom of what I think were called purple berries, maybe.  It was really pretty, though.  Most of the pictures that I took were of flowers and would've been birds, too if my camera had been working when I saw this one woodpecker in a tree.  The woodpecker didn't even care that I was standing right under it, too.  It seems like every time there's an opportunity for me to take picture, I'm unprepared for it, that makes me soooo mad!  Anyway, in case you havent noticed I love taking pictures of animals and plants like this white flower that was on vine growing around a tree's branches.
