bee on deutzia

Although I've been concerned about harassing the bees by taking their photos, this shot kind of just presented itself.

Thank you, as ever, for all your interest and comments on my photos and especially for the favs yesterday which put my peony on the PP
- really appreciated.

Beautiful close up of both bee and flower

He's a cutie. Don't think they even notice you taking their photos, they are so focused on getting the nectar. The flowers are beautiful, clear right to the bottom of their stamens. Good shot.

Wonderful capture Hazel!! I chased a few bees round the garden today but none of my shots were anywhere as good as yours!!
