Early Saturday morning the air temperature at Nicasio Reservoir had dropped to 34 or thereabouts. We've been having 60 degree weather during the days. It's a recipe for steam.

I imagine the total population of Nicasio and it's environs is less than 100. No shortage what-so-ever, however, of thistles.

And would you like mustard with your thistles?
Soooooooooo, here we go... Welcome to the great debate. Are these Thistles or are they Teasels? I've heard them called both. Around here we generally call them thistles.
And as for that bright yellow background -- Mustard Weed, or is it Canola or Rapeseed? I doubt if it is truly any of those we use as food. I call the bright yellow plant/weed Mustard Weed. Bet you a dollar you call it something else. But it makes for a pretty, out-of-focus background doesn't it?

Congrats. You pulled and "A" out of me this morning. Just who is that mystery photographer anyway?
Thanks, JOHN... That was some lady with her husband or boyfriend. I said hello but forgot to give them my card. She would be surprised to see her image.
