Bumble Bee splat..

These newly opened rhododendrons are just outside our bedroom window. At this time of year we open the curtains and just look!
All the photos of these bees seem to say they bellyflop on to these flowers!
Thankful for:
The pleasures of a good garden!

@happypat It is particularly nice this year - we cleared out all the undergrowth last year and the shrubs and flowers have improved!

[Maggiemae]

@jamibann Just imagine if it was all concrete! What a cold and horrible thought! A garden is alive!

[Maggiemae]

@marlboromaam Mags - another version of Margaret! So many - one time I introduced myself as "Madge" and that didn't go down very well!

[Mags]

@maggiemae I just figured it was shorter and easier for folks than it was. Mags short for Maggie too. =)

[Harry J Benson]

Nice detail

[sarah]

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful capture, those bees obviously just want to ' wallow' in these lovely blooms.
