The late summer cactus

Apologies for this slightly retro picture picture, but today has been a washout, blipwise. I’ve just received an Optometry appointment with regard to the cataracts in my eyes. (My world is slowly going opaque.) This is good news, I think. I just hope they don’t stop me driving.
 
NB When I say “late summer cactus,” it is still very much alive.
