Never a Day of Rest

The poor bee never gets a day off! I like that this flower he is on is called Hot Lips Salvia!

I guess he's making the last rounds before the temps go down for good. Nice shot!

He picked a great flower. Who doesn't want to "kiss" hot lips.

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful comp and focus. We have that hot lips salvia also.

[Diana]

He sure is hugging those hot lips, fabulous close up and details.

[Kathy]

Good close up of the bee. Such big eyes it has!

[Cazzi]

I have quite a lot of this variety of salvia growing in my garden and the bees absolutely love to be around it. Great capture of this busy bee!

[Marilyn Wigen]

Incredible detail... and fabulous bokeh blur!
