Blossoms & Bees

Early morning sun on my husbands succulent flower blossoms and the bees were having a high time.. He'd been pestering me to photograph the blooms and I'd been putting him off, but when I looked out the front window and saw the sun on these yellow offerings I couldn't resist.

It's good to know there a few honey bees left. They have become scarce here in Florida.

That's too bad. They are fascinating to watch and to try and photograph. Sometimes I have good luck sometimes not so much.. Here's one of my favorites....

I was trying to get a shot of a bee on one of these flowers but it took off just before the shutter clicked. Unknown to me another was coming in for a landing (upper center). If I'd stayed there, continuing to look through the view finder I might have got this guy after he landed. Then again I might of scared him off too. (LOL)

Good try Dave... It is hard to stay still and focused. I just sit down on a bench and wait.....

LOL - No bench near by and I was hunched over with a bad back. My time on target was definitely limited! (smile)

Ohhh...I can relate to bending over and a bad back...that's why I have benches and chairs spaced nicely around the yard... so I don't have to bend too much of the time.. Can't stop taking pictures tho....

Here are a couple of shots taken Sunday afternoon. Peach blossoms and peaches in February? About half a dozen bees hanging around the Peach tree. No PP, just straight OOC.
