Tension

A few chores followed by a walk, calling in at friends house to pick their sweet peas.

I saw lots of these (orange) beetles on the thistles and thought this one would do for today's Mono challenge of tension.  Well there must be a bit, mustn't there?  Better viewed large.

I haven't heard any more news regarding Luke but it would seem to be a chest infection.  Thank goodness it hasn't led to pneumonia.  Many thanks for your kind words.
