This is one of my favorite bee pictures. I took a few so shall show some in the next few days.
I am on holidays from August 17th until August 26th ....whee!! Although I will be home for the first few days, on the 21st we are heading to the States mainly to go to Tacoma Washington to attend the Gaither Gospel Homecoming Tour on Friday the 22nd. We are in for a real treat. We will also be tourists for a while and hopefully will come back with lots of good pictures. Anyhow, all of that to say I probably won't be visiting your wonderful sites for at least the 21st - 26th, but I promise I will catch up. I will prepost.
Beautiful range of colors. Very nice!

@Ron: Thank you Ron.
Really really wonderful Marion!! Such warm colours... the bee almost looks like he's cresting the top of a mountain after a long climb. But I am curious about the "sky"... was this taken very late in the day?

@amy: Thanks Amy. That's not sky that you see. It is the shed that the flowers are growing against and I also used a Nix Color Efex Pro bi-color filter to add a little color to the upper portion of this picture.
This is really a grand capture, Marion ... he's just making his way over the edge of the petal. I'll ask about the sky also; was this at sunset - or some PS-ing?

@Judy: Thanks Judy, but just as I told Amy, that is not the sky, it is the shed that the flowers are against and yes I did use a filter to change the hue of the shed.
