I was finally able to get a decent photo of a Bee…Yippee for me! I see all you other nature bloggers capture bees and bugs so well…I have been trying to emulate you..and finally I was successful.
Meet Mr. Bumble. I watched this fellow for a while..
CENTAUREA Macrocephala : YELLOW HARD HEAD
I took this video of him working his way around the flower.
Mom and Dad have allot of interesting plants in their garden

The weather has been overcast and rainy for over a month. Yesterday was an exception..warm and sunny.
Until next time…check out some more notes
on nature by clicking on the flower below.
Cheers!
Haha! I loved that little bee video. He really was working hard on the flower...digging around like a dog buying a bone. You dad has beautiful flowers. (Love those little gnomes too!) :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yellow flowers that bee is foraging on - looks like it's finding plenty of good stuff in there! Your parent's garden looks lovely :)

ReplyDeleteYeah..i got a kick out of the bee digging around..just had to film him..Oh u like Gnomes..LOL..well dad does!
Bird
Thanks bird..that yellow flower is easy to grow in full sun.
the bee was having a blast.
Cool video of the Bee working hard for a meal. Nice Job!
ReplyDeleteThe flower that smells heavenly is an Angel Trumpet.
ReplyDeleteDawn, your photos and video are outstanding! I really enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteCool Bees! I bet chicky is loving the documentation of her yard. I can see dad's gnomes found a new home..
ReplyDeleteI would really like to smell the heavenly fragrance of that flower :)

I was having a bee-havior this weekend too. Nice photos and video.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely angel trumpet plant..I love the look of this plant..I wonder if it would grow in Pa. during the summer..or could I get it to bloom indoors.
ReplyDeleteGreat macros of that bee..seems since the birdees have nested and spring migration has settled..we are all into all the other neat little things in nature! Nice post!!
Great post for Nature Notes Dawn. I love that you took a little video clip of the bee. Something so simple, yet the little guy IS working hard. My Mom has grown bonsai for years. She had a house fire this winter and lost all of them... They really are beautiful...

Rambling Woods
Thanks! yeah..i intend to do more Video in the future..thanks for creating this meme.
Sorry about your moms bonsais!
Howdy Dawn! Beautiful shots of your dad's garden. I like that bonsai and the yellow flower with the bee. :)
ReplyDeleteGood job with the carpenter bee. It's not as easy as it looks, is it? : )
ReplyDeleteSay, if you are still in the area, there have been Wilson's Storm Petrels in Gloucester Harbor all week long...if you can see them through the fog.
Great capture of the bee - they teach us patience, I think. Your parents have a beautiful garden - I love the bonsai shrub.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden! Bright yellow colors always makes it feel happy.
ReplyDeletemadahmas
ReplyDeleteThanks so much..The golden flowers are beautiful now...in full bloom!
Steve B
