Sunny Summer Bees





These pretty bushes are a part of our new landscaping. The leaves are an elongated, moss green color and the flowers look like yellow pom-poms. They sit atop yellow petals with a candy drop in the middle. I just love them. I would have to pull out the plan for the name but they are great. While taking pictures, this little bumble bee decided he wanted his picture made. It felt so good to photograph him. This little guy just made my whole self smile. He worked and worked on the puffy flowers gathering nectar to take back to his hive. Okay, I am sure he has a wife bumble bee and baby bumble bees at home. Check out his fuzzy little body and his wonderful colors. Do you agree? He is summer.

Chere, these photos are amazingly clear and bright! You captured this busy little bee perfectly. Did you use a macro lens? I love them!
