Not MonoMonday

I have struggled today with the monomonday:mailbox theme but thought I had cracked it with a village postbox set into an interesting building, that was until I managed to delete the shot from my camera before loading onto my laptop... it has been one of those days!

So it was into the back garden before the storm returned for a flower shot. The best thing about the Centaurea is that it is so long lasting that there are always flowers in all stages of opening.
