MonoMonday : Soft

Have you ever stroked a bumblebee ? They're as soft as a powder-puff, and don't seem to mind being touched.
This one's busily working on a type of flower called lambs' ears ( stachys byzantina ), and the furry silver leaves are just as soft as a bumblebee. You can see them in the extra photo.
Thanks to JDO for another challenging subject.
