Whats blooming?

Bull thistle. It's my favorite flower. Had a little trouble getting the pic. It was breezy, and I wanted the bee in the shot.

Every spring my dad used to make us go around our property in WA and cut all the flowers/seed pods off and burn them in an effort to keep them from taking over the clearing. The neighbor didn’t so we always had to keep doing it.

I had a couple in the yard I was gonna try to keep by cutting before they went to seed, but it ended up being a responsibility I didn't feel like maintaining, so I got rid of them. I still like seeing them at work, and butterflies love them.
 
I really like that track pic. What's the story there? They don't quite look abandoned, but don't look particularly used either.
