A macro closeup of a Honey Bee on a yellow petal.
A delicate Daisy w/String petals on a black background. Shot in the garden in sunlight then edited to seem as if it was studio on black. /
A beautiful poppy is gowing in a rocky ground. / Macro taken on March In The Esteron Valley at an altitude of / 650 metres. A simple and pretty flower we like to behold while we are hiking in the mountains.
Another flower on the side of the road that I just had to see. If you look close you can see that the wind blew some of the pollen onto the white petals.
Cirsium is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the Asteraceae, one of several genera known popularly as thistles. They are mostly native to Eurasia and northern Africa, with three] species from North America. / They are known for their effusive flowered heads (usually purple, rose, yellow, or white). The radially symmetrical disk flowers are situated at the end of the branches. They have erect, prickly stems and leaves, with a characteristic focal point at the base of the flower which is particularly spiny. The leaves are alternate and can be slightly hairy; Their stem wings can be lacking, or inconspicuous. They can spread by seed and rhizome (Cirsium arvensis) or by seed alone. Their seed has tiny tufts of hair, which can carry them far by wind. / Most species are considered weeds, but some are cultivated in gardens for their aesthetic value. (wikipedia.org) / .

two red orange poppy flowers and a bee flying over carrying pollen. The green background is out of focus.
I followed this diligent worker from flower to flower I was amazed how well he blended into this one even down to his recently collected pollen.
liked the angle, liked the colours especially the blue of the sky kept out of the way of his stinger …. / enjoy
I liked the contrast of the red bugs and yellow flowers so I didn’t go for a macro shot.
This bumblebee appeared statue-like on one of my yellow Mums this morning and after closer inspection it occured to me that it (and several others I later discovered) was virtually incapacitated from the previous nights bitter cold temperatures. They were all alive, but barely. You’ve got to admire these determined creatures for risking their lives to make the most of their pollen hoarding rituals. Photographed October 6, 2008. Enjoy! Len /
A fitting scene to depict this time of year; everyone trying to get the last bits of summer pollen before it’s gone, the light is changing, the air is cooler and the day’s are shorter. Olympus E-3, Sigma 50-500 mm tf at 450mm, f/11 @ 1/100” ISO 100
