Great that you got the bee, but in doing so limited the overall beauty of the total flower. Would love to see more pics of different angles of that great plant!!! And let me just say that I am sitting here in Coastal NC freezing (12 degrees with windchill) so your pic of your backyard...makes me very jealous!!! Hurry up SPRING!!! LOL Where you invest your love, you invest you life...

Be sure to hit up the periwinkles in the morning when they have some dew or right after it rains... they hold water droplets wonderfully! (just a hint) -Quentin

On #1, it's a bit distracting to have the diagonal line of the flower end at almost the exact corner of the frame.
