Thistles Dream :-) (Carduelis carduelis)

I've uploaded too many portraits lately so here it goes something different (I like variety, you know, ;))

I sneaked up among the tall Thistles after a bunch of Goldfinches and got this pic of a sleepy-looking juvie (must have been asleep to let me come so close, :'D) a pity the scene was in backlight but still I'm very pleased with the effect of the thistles, so into my gallery it goes! o:) Hope you like it a bit!
