Sitting in the gutter

Yup, there was me, hanging out in the gutter, and I think most of town went past.

I was at work.   When I was leaving I noticed the ericas out on the roadside were alive with bees.  The ground was dry for a change so, rather than hold the 'nose in garden, rear-end in the air' position that I usually do when I'm photographing droplets in that garden, I thought a better bet was to sit in the gutter, waiting for the bees to come to me.  

They did - but so did half of town and hundreds of tourists!  Ahh well, the things we do for blips make great stories.
