Goldfinches on Teazels

I’ve often driven past a field of teasels near home and wondered why they were planted? I still don’t know the farmer’s reasoning but the goldfinches were having a feast there this morning! A couple of extras, shame the flight one has a messy background.

The two sons and one daughter-in-law will arrive any moment, David’s nearly back from the airport with them. And I still can’t talk very well! Yet another apology for lack of comments at the moment! 

Huge thanks for the many gifts for yesterday’s “small fire in the mountains”. You do spoil me …
