There was a mosquito buzzing around the apartment while I painted. I think it hit my subconscious just right; these bees came out looking at bit mosquito-y
The largest #bougainvillea I’ve spotted this summer… and what a beauty!
This is growing proudly in the #melbourne #botanicgarden - there was a load of interest in this with people gazing, photographing and discussing its size, colours and splendour.
It had plenty of #bee activity too which was cool.
We saw the exact same thing happening a few days ago in a cafe where we were drinking, and a new customer coming in noticed a bee on the window sill. It was put outside on a terrace table with a bit of sugar water. It may have been too cold, but the sun was shining on and off, so maybe it warmed up enough to get back to its nest or a safer place.
