A Photo a Week Challenge: Literary Reference

I am going to make an attempt to participate In Nancy Merrill’s photography challenge for 2017. You can read about the challenge here. Basically, she comes up with a theme and posts a photo that she think fits the theme on each Thursday. My task(as well as others following her meme) is to interpret her theme and post a photograph that I think fits the theme before the following Thursday, when a new theme is started.

This week’s theme is “Literary Reference”…..hmm…a toughie. But then I remembered a book I spotted awhile ago called The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kid…and since I was going to the English Garden today I now had a mission….to get a photo of a bee! 

mission accomplished: A honeybee on a colourful but unidentified flower:

update: my sister identifed the flower as Milkweed.
