Great eyes on the one that’s in focus. Shame about the other, of course. But it’s neat to see more than one on/in a flower.

OT 030 – Bumble the Blue Sky
I read an article once arguing that cameras are inherently racist. While I won’t speak to that, it sure is hard to get the center of the sunflower to pop without blowing out the sky and the petals. That said, it’s a pretty iconic shot for Summer at this place. The bumble is a Brown-belted.
OT 021 – May be too Dark
But the detail…on the face…and the light on those hairy legs. Again, looks like a sweat bee but probably is not.
OT 012 – Another Unknown on a Sunflower
Not high art for sure…but pretty compelling to me. Love the deep blue of the sky – and the eye framed in the window there. Says, “Summer” to me. Mid-August of last year. Wish I knew what kind of bee that is.
OT 009 – Not-a-Sweat-Bee on a Sunflower
Those furry, furry legs again. Love the eye. And the almost cloud-like background.
OT 004 – Another Gorgeous Bumble on a Sunflower
Note the lack of red on this one. Love the details in the wings here. Such a pretty bee on a beautiful flower.
Bee 082 – That Red-tinged Sunflower
It’s really not just for the bumbles, but they sure love it. And, to be fair, it’s much easier to hit focus on a huge bee than one half the size of a grain of rice. Plus they’re so often on the sunflowers. And they’re so much fun to shoot.
Bee 074 – How ’bout a Bumble on a Sunflower…again?
Love the reds in this sunflower. Betting it’s about an 8th-generation bee creation. Their own, personally-made hybrid. Seem to be losing the red as time goes by. Might have to re-seed the pool and get that back a little.
One of my favorite things about sunflowers in our yard is that they wander. Can’t wait to see where a new patch shows up this year.
Bee 060 – Dirty Brown-belted Bumble on a Sunflower
Another messy one. Delights me to see that pollen everywhere.
Bee 057 – Brown-belted Bumble on a Sunflower
The sunflower is a little blown out – that blasting light – but the bee looks great. Such a neat shape.
