Teasel

Walking part of the East Neuk of Fife coastal path from St Monans to Pittenweem I spotted this teasel head, one of many growing at the top of a grassy slope. I had to hold the stem, while taking the photo, to stop the head blowing in the breeze.

The extra is a photo of the May Isle which I hope to visit sometime in June .... watching the puffins and other sea birds there is worth the sometimes choppy crossing from Anstruther.
