It's Back!

I nearly danced in the street today when my beloved macro lens was returned from the repair service in NYC.  They turned it around in a week but lightened my wallet considerably, nevertheless, it was well worth it.  I couldn't wait to get out in the garden and check it out.  There weren't a lot of little critters around but I did find a few.  This bee was really enjoying itself on the remains of the Skip Laurel flowers.  I have loaded another shot of some sort of shield bug on the butterfly bush.  That photo is SOOC except for a crop and a little contrast.  I am a happy snapper!

It's a bit of a stretch for Flower Friday, I know...  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
