Straight Out Of the Camera Sunday


I was just in the backyard, taking photos of this Dainty Bess rose, when a dead bee fell from the sky, honest, and plopped into my photo.

What are the rules for SOOC Sunday?

•On any Sunday you can post any photo you like (it must be one of  your own)
•that hasn’t been tweaked or altered in any way (cropping is OK).
•In other words Straight Out Of the Camera.
•Link Murrieta365 to your post so others will know where to go if they want to join in the SOOC fun.

BTW, I'm not shy about removing links, if the rules are ignored.



Go take more photos,

    Hi Jan,
    Poor bee. He must have been very hungry for the nectar of that flower. Have a great day!
