Tickled Pink!

The morning sun was shining on the zygos and raindrops so I put the 50mm lens on and headed outside to practise and experiment - along comes a bee - usually I'm thrilled - but I have to manually focus the 50mm and I'm not too good at that - I'm sure that by the time I nick inside and change lenses the bee will be gone so I just go for it - imagine my squeal of delight when I opened this image - I was TICKLED PINK! Hence the title.
I have the most wonderful followers who are kind enough to take the time to stop by and give their support, make comments and add favs - thank you so much for taking the time to stop by :-)
