When out on a walk to the neighbourhood movie theatre I spotted this flower in someone's yard. The gentle breeze was rocking the tall stalk of flowers back and forth and giving me a bit of trouble in capturing the flower. Valiently I tried to capture a macro in fading light with a dying battery. I was trying to "see" inside one of the blossoms and capture the bumble bee without getting stung.
I finally did manage a glimpse of the prize; the bumblebee!
Beautiful foxgloves and a lovely bee. Nothing more difficult than trying to take photos in the garden when the wind is blowing!! Well done. Diane

I love foxgloves and have some growing in the garden right now. I hope they will flower. We get quite a few bumble bees in summer. As Jo said, they are quite difficult to photograph, as they are always on the move...so well done to you on getting it right!
ReplyDeleteNever seen that flower before...it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macros of flowers.
