Hollyhocks and Honeybees

Here are two of my favorite symbols of the glorious heat and light of summer - a honeybee in a hollyhock flower. Compared to many cities in the northern hemisphere this year Victoria has had a very pleasant spring and summer. I hope this season is treating you well wherever you are.
