Beeless!

I was about to start ironing and when I looked out the window I saw a bee on this, one of the last of my camellias.  Having not felt at all inspired over the last week, I found myself reaching for the camera again.  However, by the time I installed the macro lens and adjusted the settings, this was all I was left with. Still quite pretty with its lush raindrops, but I would have loved to have captured that bee! My extra is of the centre of beautiful orchid that was sitting in the window of my DIL's window on the weekend.
Apologies for general apathy and lack of commenting.  I know I'll be back eventually!
