Love your title... nifty photo... and I love your poem too. Your photos are so sharp and have such amazing detail. I've posted my 2nd. Not sure what to do for tomorrow, but I took lots of pictures today. Had a grand time.

Lovely and appropriate music! I was afraid to get too close because I am allergic to bees!

The flowers are beautiful and among my favorites.

Robert said...

The color and sharpness are amazing here. Another fantastic capture. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks so much on your kind words about the post on Lily. That was really great. :)

I have tons of pictures of bees taken in Provence too, maybe I should publish some of those too!

Nice capture! I thought that black would be so hard to get, but it's all around us. Everybosy is doing such a great job. Have a wonderful weekend!

Great shot! I love black-eyed Susans. They attract birds in the fall due to the seeds.

Excellent macro of the bee!
Here we call those flowers rudbeckia and blackeyed susan's grow on a vine.
Next province over from me calls them yellow daisies. So many different names for one plant LOL. Whatever they are they're beautiful bright and cheery.
