I thought I'd brighten things up, for my last post of this week. A little bee was on his way to collect the pollen from a neighbours Camilia. :)
A big thank you to everyone for your comments on my little WW1 re-enactment series. Have a wonderful weekend, will be back on Monday or Tuesday :)
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
Nice,
Lovely crisp focus and contrasting colours

I'm glad you know the names Mary, to me they are all flowers, and I have many in my garden. This is a good shot with the honey bee just landing.

@Illuci: Thank you Erik, that's such a lovely thing to say :)
BTW about the orange flowers: I made a photo of it a year ago too (didn't post it), and I consulted my garden-encyclopaedia but I couldn't find what kind of flower shrub it is. I keep searching!

Nice to see this little bee busy at work. Beautiful composition.
2 May 2008 3:12pm
Great shot! Did you have bees last year? I was only seeing bumblebees due to that desastrous bee disease in the last year and was already worrying if they ever would come back. They do - thanks God!
2 May 2008 5:13pm
Superb composition Mary. Great lighting and colour. The bee is a bonus here!
2 May 2008 5:16pm

Mary, Your re-enactment series was fantastic. Your processing was a perfect fit. As always, your work is impressive.
4 May 2008 3:31am
Beautiful Mary! You can even see the pollen on the bee's leg ;)
4 May 2008 6:51am
Wonderful!! great colors and contrast, I love that bee going to flower ;)
4 May 2008 9:10am
Beautiful! The bee looks so small in comparison to the flower.
4 May 2008 4:14pm
I like the way the bee is framed as it flies in, so familiar at this time of year.
4 May 2008 5:37pm
The small bee may be working for the museum honey, which is next door to us in the south west of France.
It is a very good shot
Yours
