Sea Holly

I've always loved thistles and liked the ones in the vase drying from Valentines.

Manic sort of morning with daughters dachshund Watson having been here on a sleepover. We went out first thing for a walk to burn off some energy at least that Millie and Watson were engulfing us with. 

It took no Sherlock Holmes to realise the many many puddles round the downstairs here were Watson marking his territory - everywhere he could. This is a family website so I will not say what I possibly might have thought or might be thinking. 

I was not just out of my comfort zone with 'flowers'  - sorry it just doesn't do it for me Annie,  but took the rubber protector off the camera flash and Millie has just eaten it. I did put a white light box underneath the holly so it was all very experimental. 

Steak and kidney tonight on the go.
