Hibiscus & Bee

Lots of pollen being collected.
Well it is cooler today and the promise of rain so which forecast do you believe.
The simple solution which works better than any rain dance is to hang the washing on the line.
Hey presto and an hour later we have rain. Although I am not sure that it is going to amount to much.

Now I know what to do when we won’t rain here. Usually if I water my flowers it will make it rain.

Your photo is wonderful. The hibiscus is such a pretty color and the detail on the bee with all the pollen is amazing. I found myself looking for mites!

@ludwigsdiana thank you. It was shedding pollen as it was flying.

[Susan Wakely]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond oh dear. Thank you.

[Susan Wakely]

@grammyn haha. I couldn’t see mites.

[Babs]

Wow the bee has been rolling in pollen ha ha.

[Mags]

Dusty with pollen. A wonderful shot.

[Susan Wakely]

@onewing it was practically rolling in it and reminded me of a child playing in sand.

[Susan Wakely]

@marlboromaam thank you. The pollen was plentiful.

Wow! That bee is smothered in pollen! Great capture. On the subject of weather, I have found that the best way to insure it doesn’t rain when I am going golfing is to put my umbrella in the golf bag.

[Esther Rosenberg]

That bee has some extra load to carry! great shot

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful capture of the bee covered in pollen and the details and colors of the hibiscus. I wish hanging laundry would work here.

[Susan Wakely]
