Orchid Bees

[FowlersFreeTime]

Orchid Bees are a mostly harmless variety of bees which we often see in the tropics. While on a garden walk (separate thread to be posted) I got a few really nice shots of them around my mum's Anthuriums.

Seasons come and go but that Buddha lives on at the entrance to my parents' house, granting peace to all who visit. Picture from last year:

We're not Buddhist, but the statue seems quite happy where it is, and gives a vibe of serenity.
