[Leica] IMG: Friday Triptich

[Jim Nichols]

On an overcast morning, I checked out the Rose of Sharon (Althea) 
bushes.  After capturing a nice white blossom with red center, I spotted 
a rare double blossom in the original lavender color.  Then, for the 
first time in several years, I found a Bumble Bee on one of the 
blossoms.  In recent years, all I have found were Carpenter Bees.  So, I 
decided that my Friday flower should consist of all of these.
