When I look into your big brown eyessssss......

Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees...



And the flowers and the trees...



And the Moon up above....



And this thing called love... (Newman, 1964, recorded by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates)

The lilly in these photos has an additional bloom to open later, but the first flower has not disappointed. It is a nice peach color with ocre and brown stamens.

A bumblebee sips nectar from a sedum flower and moves around seeking his next drop on a hot summer day.
