drawn to you

These are some dove orchids that were in bloom a couple of days ago in our back garden.
I took loads of pictures that morning with my mum's camera, which I found to be FAR better than my own in taking close up shots. My mum took the first photo earlier in the morning - I love the contrasting dark background.
The last picture is my favourite. While I was focusing on the bees flying around the flowers (you can see one tucking into the orchid on the far left.), a butterfly suddenly hopped right in front of me! As if it were posing just for me.

Enlarge if you wish.

Wow the bees are huge! Perfect summer moment you captured there. :)

P.S. Thank you for the words of encouragement, they gave me a huge mental boost! And yes, go see the movie! x
