It's a shame that the rain didn't reach you. I'm a fan of stalking bees too, but it's been too windy to photograph them :)

Lovely colors and image. Those wings are so delicate.

Beautiful texture in this flower, I can almost feel the velvet.
I too have a great collection of bee bums. I swear when I point the camera at them they purposely turn and moon me.
