Oh Yummy it's Buddleia

A buddleia right opposite my bungalow has become a mass of flowers so obviously the bees and butterflies have been drawn to it.

This busy bee seemed content to stay in one particular spot so game me several opportunities to get a snap.

I usually download my offering to the 365project at about 5.00pm BST so was shocked when I couldn't get on. After panicking for a moment I found that it was down for maintenance, phew panic over.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.
