Pretty flower picture of the day

BlackberryFlowers

I went out for a moderately long loop through Clackamas County (and southern Multnomah County) this afternoon, and when I reached Rugg Road I spent some time attempting to get pictures of the bees working the Himalayan Blackberry bushes there. No luck with the bees (poor vision, a manual focus lens, and the crappy built-in p-ttl flash on my *istDS combined to make all of the bee pictures either out of focus or wildly overexposed) but I did get some nice pictures of the blackberry flowers on the horrible invasive weed.
