Pollen Count

What is my favorite smell?
That's easy this time of year. The roses. I know this isn't a rose - there wasn't a cool bee covered in pollen sitting on any of the roses. So I compromised and made it just flowers for today. I get huge comfort running my hands over the lavender. I always make time to smell the roses - every day. They soothe my soul.

lovely bee shot, they do look as if they've been rolling in pollen when they look like this - and the smell of lavender and roses is wonderful
