Redbud

I spent the day at my Mom's house. It was a gorgeous day with blue skies and fluffy clouds.

This Redbud tree was covered with carpenter bees. I was a little afraid of them at first, because they are big and there were lots of them. When I realized they were to busy to notice me, I relaxed and had fun. Taking pics keeps me sane.:0)

Thank you so much for your kind comments on yesterday's pic!!! :0)
I'm in love with all the bees out and about now!! lovely shot Carolyn

Great photo! I can't get over how green and lush it is where you are - it is still winter here! So nice to see these photos, they are making me anticipate spring much more.

Great pic Carolyn. I've been taking photos with my 50mm and just today figured out that I really have to take pictures with a higher fstop if I want a deeper depth of focus. The first three months of having it I was getting a really really shallow DOF which threw the pictures off. You seem to have no problem with this though. Great pic.

so that must mean busy bees are safe bees.

Very nice, my redbud is about done. Bees and hummingbirds enjoyed the blooms for a couple of weeks. Congrats overcoming your fears, I've never had a nectaring bee get upset over an overly friendly macro lens. :)

Great closeup capture of this big bee. This redbud has a lot more blooms on it than mine. The wind and rain have pretty much knocked them all off.

They're always busy doing bee things. Beautiful flowers, aren't they? We have a lot blooming here as well (but few bees as of yet!)
March 19th, 2012

Yikes! I saw what they did to a fence once. Pretty industrious little buggers. Very beautiful focus and DOF.
March 19th, 2012
