While shooting in our garden this morning this bee made an appearance. He lingered quite a while so I got a number of shots as he crashed the party. Please view LARGE. All comments welcome.>=))>

Bill, I'm thoroughly enjoying this image.  The combination of flower and bud look great and the bee provides a great extra bonus that adds a fine touch of whimsy.

Oh wow, Bill, this is excellent.  Like Mark, I am thoroughly enjoying this image.  Wonderful detail in the flower, bud, and bee, and the colors are really great.
