Dahlia eater

This dahlia bud has started to bloom while we were away. I did see yesterday that it looked rather frilly and a bit sad and now I know why !
It's not even the very last bud, there is another one developing, but I don't know if it will survive once this dahlia eater has had its fill from this flower.
Is it wild enough for Wild Wednesday? With thanks to the host Cailleach  :-)
It's pink for Pinktober, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you want, please follow this link  and click on the pink button for free mammograms for those who can't afford them otherwise.

Remember that tomorrow it's Abstract Thursday with the optional theme 'movement' and the tag AT122. And did you know there's a new weekly challenge hosted by Nickimags888 for still lifes, see here

Thanks very much for your kind comments and stars for yesterday's and Monday's Blips !
