Let Me Tell You 'Bout the Bird and the Bee...

...and how they photobombed my sunflower shot. I love them for that.

We don't see many exotic looking birds around us in Ohio, but I do love the bright yellow of these finches. They are usually pretty quick, but I caught this one somehow looking at me. Poser.

Must view large to see the bee if you care. He was a moving blur, but in there nonetheless.
They add such character .. Our sunflowers have all withered away now..

lovely focus and pretty photo

@cheribug There were slim pickings left in this field. Only a few pretty ones left. I wanted to get a close up. But I liked this photobombed version best. Thanks, lady!

@gerry Thank you, kind sir.

I see the bee...needed my glasses though..LOL! What a great shot...cool that they wanted to be included in the photo!!! Love those finches also.
August 15th, 2013  
very nice light on the sunflower! love the goldfinch making a fashion statement... yellow is the new black
August 15th, 2013  
Nice shot, and best viewed large ... I spotted the bee!
August 15th, 2013  
Actually I thought the bee was rather clear, all things considered!
August 15th, 2013  
Oh wow this is wonderful!!
August 15th, 2013  
Nice when enlarged
August 15th, 2013  
Great! I love this yellow meet.... a finch, a sunflower and a bee!
August 15th, 2013  
Quite the eye my friend, love capture.
August 15th, 2013  
Wonderful capture! Perfect timing!
August 15th, 2013  
Awesome shot! Took me a minute to see the bird and the bee but once I did I love it!
August 15th, 2013  
Haha this is wonderful!!
August 15th, 2013  
Oh wow - a winning trio all in matching colours. Wonderful!!
August 15th, 2013  
Wonderful shot :)
August 15th, 2013  
Beauty! The background really helps make this!
August 15th, 2013  
well isn't he nice to color coordinate with the field! wonderful capture!
August 15th, 2013  
Adorable bird... so pretty. nice capture of the sunflower too
August 15th, 2013  
Wow...great shot!
August 16th, 2013  
Wow, you packed a lot into this shot. What a fantastic capture, Amanda. Love the bird, flower and bee. Love that song, too. FAV
August 16th, 2013  
@darsphotos Aw, thanks kindly, my friend. Can't believe no one mentioned the song reference up until now. I've been singing it all day! Isn't that a crazy yellow bird?
August 16th, 2013  
Well, I'm definitely singing it now! Nice capture, Amanda.
August 16th, 2013  
@jsw0109 Yellow is the new black----really?:)
August 16th, 2013  
This shot is a bomb ready to explode----- it's gorgeous !!
August 16th, 2013  
@jodimuli to a goldfinch it is ;)
August 16th, 2013  
@amandal I should have said more, Amanda. Love the bird. It is beautiful and so clear as is the bee. Cool song and I usually catch songs that are used as titles and use them once in a while myself. Sometimes I think people move through comments so fast that they forget. I never look at the small photos as they post as they are too small and cannot stand commenting on something I cannot see well. I have time also that a lot of people do not have much of.
August 16th, 2013  
Beautiful. Fav. Nothing to add.
August 16th, 2013  
Love how the bird matches into the colour scheme. Didn't notice him until I read your caption!
August 16th, 2013  
Love the colors--that the photobomb bird wore the right colored feathers to the event! And the song is in my head as well!
August 16th, 2013  
What a sweet shot! Love the title too!
August 16th, 2013  
Did you know I love yellow flowers? Wonderful happy shot.
August 16th, 2013  
@adamj I did not. Now I do. Thanks for telling me and for your nice comments. I like to have happy shots!

@kareenking Thanks so much, Kareen!! Do you see these goldfinches by you, too?

@taffy I was so pleased with the color coordination!:) Thanks, Taffy!

@kalexa How funny. Glad I mentioned it. Thanks, lady!!

@bardejov You are sweet, my friend. Thanks so much for the fav. Isn't that a brilliant yellow bird?

@jodimuli You are fun, my friend. Thank you! And Ka-boom! Happy Friday. Freakin' weekend!:)

@wendyhgill Let me tell you bout...thanks, Wendy. Hope you are not mad at me for all of the mind worms. I love music.:) Happy weekend!
August 16th, 2013  
@kwind Thank you, Kim. Happy Friday!

@sugarmuser Thanks, Sharon.

August 16th, 2013  
@moreyoulessme I loved that they were all matchy like. Thanks so much, Jerri!!

@sbolden Thanks, Scott. It was not too shabby for a mostly dead sunflower field. I very much missed the peak, but was grateful for a few stray flowers and pleased that the pretty bird was there eating:).

@simon0128 Thank you, Simon. Happy weekend!

@happysnap Thanks, Linda. I love matching things:)!

@bpaquette Thanks so much, my friend. Happy weekend. Any more of your break left? This is our last weekend, but it's a 3 day one. Kids are excited...so am I:)!

@superbeyotch Hey lady!! How have you been? Is it nice taking some time off of 365...do you feel like you got your life back? Thanks so much for your kind comments!

@pflaume Thanks, Lisa. So glad I got one with the bird up...the others he was looking down picking at seeds. Here he was probably saying, "What the heck are you looking at?"

@cathrinemitch I've loved these birds but never been quick enough. I was so glad that he happened to be here at the right time. So much better than a plain old flower shot, me thinks:). Thank you, lady...and happy weekend!

@amrita21 I did, too. Yellow is such a happy color. Thanks, kind Amrita!

@soboy5 Thank you, Danny. I am finding them all to be like that lately. Happy weekend!

@leananiemand Thanks so much, Leana!!

@archaeofrog Yeah, I thought it was ok, too. I am seeing the shortfall of my camera lately. Photos tend to need lots of editing/sharpening. Better lens needed? Better camera? I'm stuck with what I have for now, but...sigh. It's not even been a year and I am ready for an upgrade.

@jamibann Buzzzz....glad you found it. It's like a look and find. Thanks, Issi!

@jsw0109 I love these birds. Thanks, Jeff. Happy weekend!

@eyesmile HA. You are funny. Aren't they so pretty and bright? Happy weekend, my friend!
August 16th, 2013  
@amandal we still have a couple weeks. Woohoo.
August 16th, 2013  
What a beautiful capture of this lovely sunflower
August 16th, 2013  
@bpaquette Lucky lady. I'm glad that they go back next week, however...now that we are ready anyway. Oh the little bit of freedom that I'm going to get with 2 less for half the day:).

@sjouk Aw, thanks so much, kind lady!!
August 17th, 2013  
cool, you know I love these
August 17th, 2013  
wonderful capture! love all the yellows and how you've captured the bird,sunflower and bee all together!
August 17th, 2013  
Lovely colours and focus :)
August 17th, 2013  
@twr @dreamatrix @wind_of_the_sothern_sea

Thanks, kindly, my friends! Hope you are having a great weekend so far!
August 17th, 2013  
Pea
ha ha and the bee is in mid-flight too. Love the title and idea :)
August 18th, 2013  
Wonderful photo. Fav.
August 19th, 2013  
Like how he blends in. Lovely shot
August 19th, 2013  
@deeganp @helixconcepts Thanks so much, ladies!:)

@thirtysevenways Thank you, Andy!! I was pleased to catch these yellow dudes. It's nice how they added interest to a flower shot.
August 19th, 2013  
Stunning
August 19th, 2013  
@zambianlass Thank you, kind lassy!:)
August 19th, 2013  
So lovely and so cool that you captured all three.
August 20th, 2013  
Gorgeous trio of golden yellows - great photobombers! : )
August 20th, 2013  
@nadaa Thanks, Nada! I was pleased!!

@rennes I know. So excited. My lens wasn't doing great capturing the details of the sunflower (I am starting to feel the need for an upgrade), but the bird and bee really made the shot!!
August 21st, 2013  
What are you wearing to the photo shoot today? No!! I'M wearing yellow and black. You have to pick something else!
Well, I can't change it either. Darn, now it's going to look like we coordinated on purpose. What dorks everybody will think we are.

Great timing, lady. :-)
I sort of looks like a bee in the center of the flower too, but I don't suppose there'd be anything there to attract one.
September 9th, 2013  
*it* sort of looks like....
September 9th, 2013  
@pasadenarose I think you are right about that bee in the center. Thanks, friend. Love your narrative!
September 9th, 2013  
perfect focus, brilliant shot. Fav
