Spring is here finally

This beautiful purple azelea belongs to my neighbour across the street. It has to be my favorite, so rich in color. The bees love it too.

I appreciate and treasure each and every one of you that visits my site every day and leaves a comment. I learn so much just from viewing your pictures in return.

GORGEOUS color for sure, and a good shot of the bee as well.
Each pistil jumps right out of the photo!

What a gorgeous shot Marion, I was so taken by the purple blooms that i almost missed the bee entirely.......As I was reading your narrative I got to the part where you mention the dbee enjoying and as I glanced up I spotted it...what a great capture.
