A new bee…every day
Love this one in the Spring. Always get wistful as they fade. Look at her little claws holding her upsidedown so she can get at the pollen. Neat blue pollen, too. Note the tulip, too, in the lower left. Spring is so neat.
Definitely a neat wasp. Definitely a neat eye. Definitely a pollinator. Definitely a neat photo.
I think this is Rozanne. One of my very favorites. Attracts not only the honeybees but tons of other pollinators as well. And blooms from early until forever, it seems. A little pushy, but with a name like Rozanne…??
This is such a wonderful plant in the fall for pollinators. I’m especially fond of side-shots that show the eye – and on the margin of flowers. This one just sets up perfectly for those shots. Really makes the bee stand out. Love this shot.
I kind of hate that these shots are so small in this bloggy-thing. I’ve resized them to 1000 pixels, but it looks like it displays at only about 600. They look good on a phone I guess… But I wish you could see the full-frame that I see on my monster monitor. Or how they print… Nature is art.
The same thing…only different.
Pretty deep inside – deep enough to affect the light for sure. I think that tulip is Maria Christina.
Shot in September 2018. Might be a Bombus huntii, but don’t take that ID all the way to the bank. Love the tongue.
From September of last year (2019). Kind of a dreamy looking thing. Pretty girl.
This looks like a sweat bee, but I don’t think the sweat bees have furry legs. So I’m thinking it’s something else. Shot this one in August of last year at Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City. Good start!
Can’t remember the name of this flower. Seems to close up early. Haven’t gotten very many bees on it. Just shot this…no edits, just a crop. Card from camera still copying over.
Terribly frustrated today. Art fairs and art shows cancelling out into August. Had three fall today. Don’t get me wrong – I do understand somewhat. And it’s not up to the organizers alone – artists are reluctant, the audience may be – and the organizers have to make the best decisions.
Doesn’t mean it’s not frustrating. So…I meditate with my camera…and fire off a bonus product of that meditation. Pretty girl on a pretty blossom.
There…………………..that’s better ;).
