There's Goblins in the Garden

I've been sneaking around my friends garden again looking for fairies or pixies. Couldn't find any today but I did come across a Goblin lurking in the border. You know how nasty Goblins can be so I quickly took a photograph and scarpered.

Of course it wasn't a real Goblin but this plant called a Gaillardia 'Goblin' or Blanket Flower. It did look pretty but it could have been in disguise and suddenly jump up and eat me. I must try and put my vivid imagination to good use some day.

View with the dark background if you have time.

@linnypinny Ohhhh, you could be right, have I been photobombed by a creature.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

I agree with @linnypinny. Thought I did see something in the top right corner. Maybe you can sneak around a bit tomorrow too...;-) Forgot to say I like the picture and a Fav for the unseen goblin.

[essiesue]

I did view this on the dark background and it looked striking. Very nice macro image.

[Maggiemae]

Its lovely with its yellow tipped petals! You do know that goblins come round at night and paint the tips yellow?

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@maggiemae I did wonder Maggiemae, in fact I thought the petal tips were still wet. (Wink)

[Denise Wood]

You really need to stop drinking that whisky for breakfast :)

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@gilbertwood But it goes well with my cornflakes Denise.

[Denise Wood]

@ladymagpie You must be up late to respond :) I'm having my breakfast without whisky now!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@gilbertwood I'm writing in my sleep, just going to bed, have a nice day. England v Australia cricket tomorrow.
