the first flower looks like it is singing and dancing to music. the second made me think
what a big beauiful sippy cup that bee has. good capture of that scary bee.

That is a beautiful purple, Judy.... I think the way the light is hitting it makes it even more beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,

Maybe I should just save a little program that says the same thing, and I could just cut and paste: ooooh, ahhh, how beautiful!

Cranesbill, bee fly, two things I've never seen. And I've never heard of a bee fly! Do they sting? How did you gt that amazing picture? The fly on that purple flower is beautiful.

Pat Tillett said...

how delicate that flower is really came across in the beautiful photo.
also, what the heck is a bee fly?

Carletta said...

What a beautiful image! I love how the back of the flower picks up the great bokeh in the first one.
Super closeup of the bee enjoying a meal. :)
