First of all, I suggest you go back to Cindy's birthday posting and read what Dorothy wrote. She is such a bitch sometimes.
Very beautiful flower shot, Sandi. As your birthday present, I will comment on this flower shot even though today is Saturday. I like the fact that the two bees are getting along and not squabbling over the availability of the abundant pollen. As always, the focus is crisp and sharp and the colors are wonderful. I keep hearing that the subject should never be dead center in the shot, but this looks right to me...maybe because of the square cropping.
I agree with what Raj said about the "An unusual olour". I believe he meant odor and was not referring to the flower. Just a head's up.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
