Description

What is it about poppies and bees? They go absolutely mind-lost crazy tumbling over each other to get to the pollen around the center edges of the flower. Always a good show to watch! :)

Hey, Ms.V! Looks like I've missed some beauties from you!! This is wonderful! I love how you've managed to capture 3 bees on that poppy! And the color and detail are fantastic too!! Superb work! #10317347

Rona L. Schwarz September 10, 2012

WOW! Three bees on one flower, and all of them sharp with excellent detail and clarity, not to mention the vivid eye-popping color of the poppy! We've had almost no butterflies this year to speak of and so I have focused on bees - have found them much harder to shoot than I thought - they don't stay still for a moment! This is an amazing capture! #10317620
