Emergency Echium Plants

It's been none-stop all day ... (although, stopping to think about, most days don't stop ... so what I should have said, was that 'I've' been none-stop all day) ... Up with the lark again ... Working like a trooper in the rain and drizzle this morning ... Rushing around most of the afternoon ... and out again this evening until 10 o'clock ... :o/

I would have liked to have captured the lovely sunset, but alas I was otherwise engaged doing things of a more mundane nature at the time ... :o(

Luckily, however, these Echium plants came to my rescue ... Maybe not a sunrise, or sunset at the time, but at least the sun did find it's way into the shot ... :o)
