Thistle and Beetles

A day mowing verges and gateways again in prep for harvest.
Miller was very spooky last night when Mrs A S was on her own, much better tonight after I moved some arena letters from the fence side. One wonders sometimes whether Miller will ever act his age rather than his shoe size!! Once they were settled in the arena I nipped of with the camera. I liked the thistle and its collection of pollen beetles, any help for the name of the flower in extras thanks.
Off now to find one more photographer for Saturday and try and catch up with your journals one and all ;0)
