Busy Bees

 

If I want to capture a bee or two, I just head over to the gaura belleza plant.  There is always a few bees dancing around these blooms.  

Trying to capture the busy bees and the swaying blooms is always a nice challenge.  Sometimes I'm lucky.  

Memory Trigger: Typing that title "Busy Bees" brought back a childhood memory.  There used to be a store in Quincy Illinois where I grew up called "Busy Bee".  It was one of those places that sells just about everything.  If I needed a new pair of shoes or dad needed some T-shirts or mom was looking for a summer hat, the Busy Bee had it all.  I can still picture the place with its creaking wood floors and a ceiling full of fans that were all connected together with one, very large fan belt.  Great memories!

  1. Way to go Sharon. Photographing bees on flowers is a challenge. Photographing one in flight is even more challenging.

  2. Great bee shots, it is good to see honeybees about. I love the memory trigger, my home town hardware store still feels like that

  5. I think I've said this before, but we used to have Gaura plants in our garden. They didn't last long, unfortunately.
