This is a little present for my wife. All married women will understand why. I'm suffering from a slight cough and a mild cold but because I'm a man, I'm acting as though it's ten times worse than Swine-Flu. My wife is acting as my own Florence Nightingale and so deserves my heartfelt thanks.

I've just noticed when reading the Wiki entry that both Florence and Mrs b share the same birthday May 12th!

Your up late tonight Steve just like me, I like the train of flowers here, while the unfocused background adds depth. You've even got a bee as a bonus !

Bravo.

I hope you get you wife some nice flowers, for putting up with the man-flu! LOL I really like your shot, I can see the bee is holing a full load of pollen on her back legs. Very nice capture. Feel better soon.

The Golden Chain looks good Caruso. You should buy Mrs. Caruso a real one for listening to your pitiful moans and groans. Just kidding.

Great post.

Lovely image with the bee, Steve. Nice colours too. Hmm, I would say that a real bouquet will be a better way of saying thanks.

Awwww.... that's so sweet.... but I agree, you better get Mrs. B a real flower or two. The combination will really make her day. And, what can I say? Bob does EXACTLY the same thing when he is under the weather. It's a guy thing. ;-)) Love these bright strands of yellow blooms, they look like a bright cascade of color, punctuated by the bee...
