Drinking in the Sunshine by olivetreeann

Drinking in the Sunshine

We took Isaac to the park and while he and Gampy were running around the baseball diamond, I was keeping myself busy as a bee shooting flowers and whatever else caught my eye. I had just focused on this dandelion when an unexpected but propitiously timed visitor arrived. Watching him crawl around the top of the flower sipping away got me to thinking, "Wouldn't it be great to have a built in straw like a bee?" You'd never have to go searching for one when you ordered a milkshake or your favorite beverage! This fellow seemed to be pleased with his.

Shoot 4 September word: drink
Excellent timing. Good to know we are not the only place in the world where the bees still act healthy

@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie! He was a happy fellow- after this one he was on to the next just a few inches away.

With the weather we've been having lately, it is great being outside. Now all I need to do is find time to get out with my camera

Nice shot, Ann! I could never shoot this kind of bee... only bumble bees for me. Ones like this might sting and kill me (well a bumble bee could too but odds are wouldn't because they'd die too!!)... Excellent detail and very brave! Well done :)

Thank you Kathryn, thank you Bev! I was a safe distance Bev. Although I'm not allergic, I certainly do not like to be stung!

@henrir Thanks Henri! It really did look like a little sun to me, so that's how I came up with the title.
