This busy bee working the flowers at Oxford Botanic Gardens.

It did not look too promising this morning, but a few wispy clouds saved the day.

Thanks to Anthony for taking us to this cool spot :)

Yes, it's that tree again. The pinks had disappeared by this time, so I thought B&W might work here.

Botany Bay, Broadstairs, Kent.

Vacant for at least two decades, this building was originally an assembly plant for the Ford Motor Company. By the 1970s, It had been bought by Botany 500, and the company made suit pants here while a factory in Allentown produced matching jackets. This building can be seen in many photos of the Baker Bowl, which was located on the other side of Lehigh Avenue, and the Reading Company's North Broad Street Station, which still exists to the south on Broad Street.
