No hayfever here...

I have a feeling that summer is going to be macro season! I'm so lucky that the park I walk through every day is actually a botanic garden and in the past couple of weeks it has just exploded with weird and wonderful flowers. It also has a big rose garden and today I spotted the first rose of the year. I was going to blip it, but then I saw this bee completely covered from head to toe in pollen so I had to post him instead. It's a messy job :)




Probably best viewed in large!





edit: (for my own personal memory bank) after looking at some of DaveH's photos on flickr I realise this is a Welsh Poppy.
