    If someone googled my name, they'd probably come up with hundreds of comments broadcasting my love of lavender.

    And yet, I have to say I love lavender oh so much! Lovely picture :)

    The violet and yellow are so resonant! My husband planted lavender, and we've been reveling in lavender brownies, fudge and poundcake.

    It' wonderful to see images of honey bees, what with colony collapse happening so rampantly.

    Haha, don't be too impressed, Autena - my camera has a 7x zoom so I was still at a safe distance.

    And thanks to everyone for all the sweet comments!!
