Bzzzzzz

This guy was busy mining the scabiosa in the garden. It was a little breezy, which is why I think he was hanging on for dear life! This one was at the nursery. I loved the way the wings became almost irridescent in the sunlight. Too back he had his back turned--but then, I wouldn't've seen those cool wings!!

  1. These are incredible, Pat. I love how he's hanging on so tight to the flower!
    I haven't seen "UP" yet. My son Parker went with is friends the weekend it came out and they all loved it. I need to take Mallory and Alex to see it! I've heard only good things about it from others, too!

  2. I love the fuzzies! Your Macro Monday shot is absolutely amazing, too.
    You asked what kind of iris I had in my post one day last week. I don't know because it was at a local garden and they didn't have a sign out. They were on the smallish side though.

  4. Wow, love that gorgeous lilac color, and you're right his wings are very pretty! In answer to your question, C is doing WSS at Village Theatre.

  11. He looks so fuzzy and soft! I love that purple color in the flower. It's so soft and serene.

  12. That sure is one furry little bee, Pat, but I guess he needs that covering during your freezing winters.
    Beautiful captures, I love the soft colour of the flower, focus and detail of the wings.
