One more..

this is called storing up beauty to revisit in the dark months to come.. 
Our forecast is for the beautiful few days that we have had coming to an end with thunder and lightning and rain.. then much cooler.  The sun hasn't broken through yet so  I am celebrating the glorious few days that we have been blessed with.
The lovely thing about photographs is that they can transport you somewhere else.. be it a good place or a bad.. but to give context.. while I was photographing this cosmos our new neighbour was letting rip with a souped up engine in the background.. I couldn't hear myself think and the smell of fumes drove me inside pretty quickly.. just hoping he isn't going to race noisy vehicles around the field regularly.. fingers crossed! 
And here is to friday.. once back inside I decided to bake a Dorset Apple cake.. we will have as pud with our daughter who is coming for supper this evening. Nom nom!
