Wildflowers – Bee Happy

1 Reply

Summer is coming to an end, many of the flowers have gone by, but these few still bloom. We may have a frost or a dusting of snow next week at my house, so I have spent the past few days photographing bees, mushrooms, flowers, and the few hummingbirds still about.

I listen for hummingbirds, but today find bees busy pollinating wildflowers. Hey, it’s a sticky job, but someone has to do it, eh? Flower to flower with no end in sight this time of year, especially with all the rain we’ve had this month. Yet the bee gets little thanks, silly girls scream when they see one and no one likes to get too close. This close up was shot with a telephoto, from several feet away, so as not to disturb the important work.
