Hovering


Here is another photo from Sunday's early morning outing at the garden.  This is another one of the beautiful night blooming cactus flowers this time being visited by a honey bee collecting some pollen.  These flowers are so gorgeous it's a pity they don't last through the day after they've bloomed.

  6. Live fast, die young. Too bad they don't last longer!

  7. Okay, Sharon, I'm running out of superlatives! But this is another shot bordering on perfection - just the flower which is so well exposed that one can see the strictures in the petals! But the bee is the crown in this jewel! So well done!

  10. I love the subtle variation in the flower's colors, from white to lilac to purple. And the fringe around the yellow center - gorgeous close-up!
