TinyTuesday125 A surprise appearance

Today I have two shots to offer for TT, both appropriately pink (BCAM) but one rather less seasonal than the other.  I've chose the Sea Thrift as my main shot as I was rather surprised to see it flowering yet again at this time of year:  Armeria maritime usually flowers in our part of the world between May and July, rather than late October!
My second shot is a hydrangea head, drying gently at the season's end.  I do think that these flowers are beautiful in all their stages and love the lacy effect as the petals fade and disintegrate.
Today was a busy one as we had a meeting with the prospective new owners of our business.  Perhaps I can finally see that retirement really is on the horizon...
