This evening in the garden

I'm not sure who was looking the most moody and enigmatic, the loch

or the cat.

Only one white butterfly passed briefly by but didn't stop. At least this hover fly appreciates the potentilla flowers.

Some prickly things developing. I don't know what this is but I like the punk style of the partially open globe.

This sea holly seems very happy, it struggled in a pot in Tilly. I planted it out last Summer and it has flourished. I guess the clue is in the name, the sea holly likes a martime environment.
