Thistle at Sundown

I was watching Wimbledon on TV and they were showing some wonderful views looking west out of London with interesting and colourful sky. As the crow flies I live about 25miles westward, so headed outside to see if I could see the same.

As I live in a very leafy part of Surrey and at the bottom of 2 hills, I was (not surprisingly) out of luck, but noticed this thistle backlit by the late evening sun. If you dare look closely, you can also see an army of ants marching along the stems!

The results of yesterday's efforts while enjoying a lazy Sunday with no outstanding chores can be seen here
