Cee is guest hosting this week and she has challenged us to show one single flower. So I went looking through my files trying to narrow my choices down.
I decided to share photos with either a bee or butterfly on the flower. I love good flower photos but there is something especially fascinating to me about capturing a bee or butterfly during their “pollen” rounds.
Unfortunately, my winged friends move so quickly so it’s not always easy to get a clear photo. But I persist. Once I followed a bee around and around a camellia shrub 3 or 4 times until I got a photo I was happy with.
Butterflies are harder to track through. Bees are methodical going from one flower to the next one over so you can anticipate their path. Butterflies flit from one flower to the other randomly – it’s more hit and miss.
But I keep trying – once I even got a dragonfly!

Thanks Tina. It was a little windy that time so he wasn’t moving as quickly. My good luck!
