Artichokes from the garden

I rather like this still life and the very colourful artichokes that I picked from the garden I had to take a photo before we eat them.
Today it poured with rain in most places but not here, well we had some but no where near as much as in Adelaide.
Sarah and I had to take the mare and foal up for the growth on the foals neck to be removed. It turned out to be a melanoma which is most unusual in such a young foal, he is barely 3 weeks.
The operation was successful and we left home at about 8.30 and were home again a bit before 1.30, he has quite a long cut in his neck and several staples that we take out in 10 days time. At the moment he is in the stables and bouncing around as if nothing had happened.
