A Thistle Flower Could Make An Admirable Umbrella

A much better day at work today despite being pretty busy and late leaving for my first lesson on Milo. I really enjoyed my lesson and having an instructor there made both Milo and I much more focussed and I was really pleased with our progress. 

I was intrigued to find on this patch of thistles a significant number of damp bees, all sheltering under the flowers from the rain. I have never seen such a thing before...but I guess a thistle flower could make an admirable umbrella!
