 Happy Monday and happy new week!  My Speedwell, or Veronica, was blooming recently.  I love the color of this particular variety.   Speedwells can be found in many colors and they have spiky flower blooms like this one and also small dainty blooms as well.

It's Friday, TGIF!  Unlike a lot of people, I never stopped working but the days still seem to flow together and seem hard to remember.  Anyway, the photo.  The smaller butterflies have made a big come back lately in my area.  I have seen a lot of Painted Ladies recently and then on last Friday I was able to capture this Buckeye Butterfly enjoying a Speedwell flower.  It wasn't until I was looking through the images that I captured that I saw there was a little bee captured on it's way in too.  There is some nice abstract bokeh in this image as well and Friday's are Bokehlicious!

We have had over an inch of rain in the past 2 nights bringing the total for the month to over 9 inches.  We didn't get 9 inches total for the year last year.  This is quite crazy.  The plants and weeds are loving it though.  This is my spring Speedwell in bloom.  I love it's blue color and it was just full of blooms this year.

We might get a break from the wind today.  That would be nice.  It just beats you down.  Wind is OK when it's normal but 45mph gusts are not especially when driving.  :-(
Anyway, on to the image.  I took this a week ago now probably but it is still blooming.  This is a macro image of some Speedwell blooms and they have a visitor.  They are lovely blue flowers growing on top of my retaining wall.  I loved the bokeh in this image caused by the other blue blooms in the background.
