Stop and Smell the Roses...

A couple days ago, when the heat was high and the wee ones were in their pool having fun, I just didn't want to go back into my garden.  I'd had enough.  So I got my camera and took a moment to walk around and see what beauty there was going around the yard. 

It was actually easy to find.

Shasta Daisy

Phlox

One of my favourites.

Can't remember this name.

Delphinium - beautiful.

Trying to get a close up of a bee and it actually worked.

This is a border flower that attracts lots of bees.  It is such a magnificant purple colour it really is breathtaking when you see it.

This was one of my attempts to actually capture the bee on the flower but thought that this picture actually turned out really cool.  Can you spot the bee?
