Agave.

Had a great walk along the seafront this morning - earlyish so I took Ginny's football for her to bat along the prom which she did and had a great time but then Park Run happened and so I had to tuck the ball away in the carrier bag before she got tangled up with all the runners.  Which is not a bad thing as she is showing signs of being "ball obsessive".  I've never had a dog like that but I know it can be very annoying.  One of my brother's dogs would drop a saliva saturated tennis ball on your lap over and over when sitting in the garden.  Not wanted with clean clothes on, glass of wine and BBQ etc.
Does any of this have anything to do with these agave flower spikes...nothing at all.  I needed to photograph them for another reason and they were a lot better than my earlier Blip!
