Took this at the Calendar Gardens. I went back to see what this bud had become, and except for more color it had not changed much at all. But this time Mr. Bumble was enjoying it too.

Very little editing done to this image. Hand held shot using the Canon ef70-300 IS USM lens.

Have a great weekend and Happy Fourth of July to some of you!

Thank you in advance for your comments.

The color must be sweet, huh? Nice shot of the bee on that interesting mystery bud. I like the background too.

1. I understand your wishing Happy Fourth of July to some LOL
2. It is such a privilege to be proud of one's country
3. I can only be proud of our Renaissance times [roughly Tudors times] when Poland was quite important in Europe, rich enough and very tolerant - no heretics were persecuted [OK not too much] in Poland [LOL]
BTW: beautiful post - lovely background !!!!

Nice shot Tigz. The bee seems to be as big as the flower. I think it is pretty full of itself.

A lovely closeup of that bee on the flower, Sandi. That looks like the same bee that stung me last summer. Where's my bee spray?? Excellent work and have a great 4th.

Great bokeh. The bee is getting his "beaks" worth. Catchy little purple bloom. Nice.
