Loved the big red poppies I photographed at my brothers house…the bees were a’buzzin’ and busy as they should be, so I gave them a little dream world to work in…

I adore Poppies…peerless in their simplicity and beauty! What a wonderful image…you have made them even more wonderful! And, love the chubby bees! Other bees are not nearly as cute! Excellent, my friend and inspiring!
The Poppy…decadent, frivolous, happy, just plain gorgeous and rich…they can fit easily into any scenario….and as for chubby bees…they are MUCH easier to photograph because I can see them in the viewfinder better…AND they are cute!!!
ROTFL!! I am loving ALL of your comments ….:))))))

Nice combos of different reds; so pretty…and there’s those fat little bumble bees again!
I just can’t resist those bumbles…easier to photograph than the others!!

You are amazing Polly! Excellent beautiful work! Viewing it kinda makes you feel you are living in a bees world and seeing the Poppies as they would! I think its a spectacular work of art! And I love the colors too!
Hi Tina!! That was sort of the idea behind it….although I should have done some proper research on what colours bees see!! I think red is one of the colours though!!
